Sassa distributes over 18 million permanent grants, including the Older Persons pension grant, Disability grant, War Veterans grant, Care Dependency grant, Foster Child grant, Child Support grant, Child Support grant Top-Up, and Grant-in-Aid. This is in addition to around 8 million Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant recipients.
A post circulating on social media falsely claims that beneficiaries will get double payments due to previous payment delays.
Sassa warned the public not to believe the message.
The information below is FALSE and did NOT originate from SASSA. Please ignore or delete it,
Sassa spokesperson Paseka Letsatsi urged beneficiaries to rely on trusted sources for updates on Sassa grants and warned against sharing unverified information.
Before anyone can share any information pertaining to social grants, they must first verify its authenticity to avoid disseminating false information that may cause anxiety and stress to our beneficiaries,
