Important Advice for Beneficiaries
SASSA has asked grant recipients to avoid hurrying to withdraw their money on the first day it is paid out. While it is natural to want access to your funds right away. This behavior can lead to large crowds at pay points and ATMs.
Instead, here is what SASSA recommends:
- Avoid unnecessary queues: There is no need to withdraw your money the moment it is available. Once the funds are deposited into your account, they will stay there until you need them. You can withdraw at any time after the payment date.
- Use your SASSA card like a debit card: You can pay for items directly at stores using your card, just like any bank card. This method is safe and avoids the need to carry cash.
- Withdraw only what you need: If you do not need the full amount right away, consider leaving some of it in your account. This can help protect you from theft and help you budget better for the rest of the month.
What to Do if Your Payment Is Late or Missing?
Sometimes, technical issues or bank delays can cause payments to arrive later than expected. If your money has not come through by the evening of your scheduled payment day:
- Wait for a few hours, Payments are often processed in batches throughout the day.
- Check your balance through your phone or WhatsApp before heading out.
- Contact SASSA directly if your payment has not arrived after 24 hours.
Make sure your personal details are always up to date with SASSA so that they can contact you if needed.
