The official SASSA payment dates vary yearly for each month, and the grants offered by SASSA vary. There are plenty of reasons why SASSA maintains the right to adjust the payday for any grant. As a continuing SASSA grant beneficiary or a new application, you must be informed of SASSA payments for September to receive them smoothly. SASSA’s policy does not allow you to change your payment date; thus, you must adhere to the official dates to make your payments.
SASSA Pay Days in September 2024:
SASSA payments for September are likely to be free of any questionable events at the state level in the country owing to mid-year, as all activities at the national level are running well.
- Old Age Grant: September 3, 2024
- Disability Grant: September 4, 2024
- Other SASSA Grants: September 5, 2024
You should visit your payment stations in your neighborhood to ensure that your payments are collected on time. You can make payments at ATMs one day following SASSA’s official payment disbursement. If you visit a day following the formal disbursement, you will likely encounter less people at payment sites and traffic, as there are a large number of recipients in South Africa receiving SASSA rewards.
SASSA Payment Amounts:
- SASSA payments are inconsistent across all grants; you should be aware that each grant distributes a different amount of money to its beneficiaries.
- Grants available include Child Support Grant (R480), Care Dependency Grant (R1990), Foster Child Grant (R1070), War Veterans Grant (R2010), Old Age Grant (R1990), and Disability Grant (R1990).
- As a new application, you must carefully understand all of the requirements for a given SASSA award and the final amount paid to the beneficiary. Also, SASSA has no policy that allows them to increase an applicant’s award amount.
- Following approval, you will not be able to increase the grant amount; thus, it is advisable to examine the amount of the SASSA grant.
Payment Withdrawal Precautions:
- Plan your ATM visit at least a week before the official payment disbursement, and remember to check the validity of your SASSA card.
- Remember to bring a close family member along as a companion.
- To prevent crowds at ATMs, avoid peak hours, and avoid visiting ATM cabins late at night to reduce the risk of robbery.
- Don’t take aid from anyone at the ATM, and don’t ask for it; instead, discuss your problem with only bank officials to find a solution.
- Never let a stranger into the cabin when using an ATM.
- When entering your PIN, use your left hand to conceal the keyboard and your right hand to input it.
- To minimize ATM card captures, destroy your card before withdrawing cash from the ATM.
- After withdrawing your cash, do not stop until you reach your home.
- Stay up to date on SMS transaction notifications; if you see anything suspicious, immediately notify the bank or SASSA.
