How to Collect Your Sassa Grant for jANUARY 2024. The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) plays a very important role in distributing social grants to suitably qualifying beneficiaries every month. It is confirmed that over 18 million South Africans rely on these grants to ensure that their basic needs are met.
The Social Security Agency of South Africa (SASSA) has implemented a standardized payment system for SRD grants, which ensures that beneficiaries receive their money on time Unlike permanent grants distributed by Sassa, which always had a specific due date, SRD payments are predetermined. There was no payment date but from January 2023, Sassa has decided to pay the SRD in the last week of each month.
SASSA offers multiple payment methods for SRD grant beneficiaries. You can choose the option that best suits your needs and preferences. Here are the available options:
1. Bank account
If you have a personal bank account, you can choose to deposit your SRD grant money directly into your account. Using this method, you can access the money as soon as it is available. You will need to provide SASSA with your account details during the application process in order to prepare your bank account for payment.
2. Send money / Cash Send
Cash Send payment option is available for individuals who do not have their own bank account. This option allows you to access your SRD support payments through a mobile phone with a registered number. You will need to provide your ID number and phone number to receive the grant. This option provides an easy way to access your money without having to have a traditional bank account.
