Sassa Grants Payments Begins January 2023 Payment

The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) has reassured its clients that the January 2023 social grant payments will be disbursed as planned, following issues with delayed payments in November and December 2022.

SASSA spokesperson Moabi Pitsi stated that all issues from the previous payment cycles have been resolved, and payments for January will be made on the following schedule:

• OLDER PERSONS GRANT: 03/01/2023
• DISABILITY GRANTS: 04/01/2023
• CHILDREN’S GRANTS AND OTHER GRANTS: 05/01/2023

SASSA also noted that there is no set payment date for the SASSA Social Relief of Distress Grant (SRD) because it is a temporary grant, and recipients will be notified of their payment dates via text message or through the SRD grant website.

SASSA grant recipients have the option of receiving their grant directly into their bank account, using the CashSend option, or using their SASSA cards at retailers.
