Exciting news for social grant beneficiaries in South Africa! Sassa has announced a R10 increase in social grants starting this month. This increase demonstrates the government’s commitment to improving the welfare of all grant beneficiaries.
The old age grant for those below 75 years will see an increase from R2,180 to R2,190, while those above 75 will see an increase from R2,200 to R2,210. Additionally, the war veterans grant, disability grant, and care dependency grant will also receive increases.
Beneficiaries are reminded to avoid rushing to withdraw all their funds at once, as it is safer to transact with your card and withdraw small amounts at a time. Funds will remain in clients’ accounts and will not be forfeited if not withdrawn immediately.
Sassa remains dedicated to ensuring smooth processing of all payments, with older persons’ grants already paid out, disability grants scheduled for Thursday, and children’s grants, along with all other grants, to be paid out from Friday.
