How to Receive Your Sassa Grant
Sassa beneficiaries have two options for receiving their grants:
- Direct Deposit: The recommended method is to have your grant automatically deposited into your bank account. This ensures your money is safe until you need it.
- Cash Withdrawal: You can also collect your grant in cash from various locations, including ATMs, Pick n Pay, Checkers, Shoprite, and Boxer stores.
There's no need to rush to withdraw your grant immediately. It will remain in your account until you need it.
There is no need to rush to withdraw cash on the first day. Once the money is in the account, it will remain there until it is needed.
