Sassa Has Started Paying R350 Grant For August

Sassa has been experiencing many delays in paying out the R350 Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant to qualifying beneficiaries due to the changes to their digital systems which resulted from changes to the SRD grant’s regulations.

Sassa has now stated that beneficiaries can collect their August payments which were released from 21 September 2022.

Beneficiaries can receive their grant payments through their bank accounts or by collecting their grant payment from these selected stores:

• Checkers
• Usave
• Shoprite
• Pick ‘n Pay

Beneficiaries should only visit these stores to collect their grant payments after they have received an SMS from Sassa which states that the grant is available.

These beneficiaries need to have a cellphone with a registered cellphone number as well as proof of identification when collecting their grant payment.

Beneficiaries are reminded that they do not have to collect their grants on the date when it becomes available as the grant will remain in their accounts until they need to access it.
