Unresolved January 2024 Grant Payments Issue Sassa halted the grant payments of over 150,000 beneficiaries in January 2024. The non-payment was due to inconsistencies in grant beneficiary information, such as mismatched ID numbers with bank records, inaccurate banking details, and changes in grant payment methods.
The AG promptly highlighted this issue, leading us to make a firm decision to ensure that the correct grant is given to the rightful recipients.
In order to prevent individuals from mistakenly receiving grants, the agency suspended these grant payments.
Sassa stated that if a beneficiary did not receive their January 2024 grant payment and is eligible for a grant payment, they will be paid during the February payment run.
It was confirmed that they will receive a double grant payment, including their outstanding January 2024 grant payment and their February 2024 grant payment.
Grant beneficiaries can collect their grants at ATMs and retail stores such as Pick n Pay, Checkers, Shoprite, and Boxer.
Sassa beneficiaries can also choose to have their Sassa grant paid directly to their bank account.
