These monthly grant payments are used to help families put food on the table and contribute towards their basic needs.
Sassa grants can be collected using several payment methods. These include collecting grants from selected supermarkets and retailers such as Shoprite, Checkers, U-save, Pick ‘n Pay and Boxer.
The money can also be paid to beneficiaries through a bank account, can be withdrawn using a SASSA gold card, CashSend, or through a Post Office.
It is important to note that beneficiaries do not need to collect their grants on the day their grant is to be paid. Sassa has affirmed that the grant money will remain in the beneficiary's account until they choose to use it.
Sassa administers and provides the following support grants:
- Care dependency grant
- Child support grant
- Disability grant
- Foster child grant
- Grant-In-Aid
