In terms of Sub-regulation 32(2), a notice of suspension or cancellation must be delivered to the beneficiary or their appointed procurator through electronic communication or other appropriate channels.
Sub-regulation 32(4) also requires the agency to investigate and verify all relevant facts and circumstances before making a final decision to suspend or cancel a grant.
SASSA explained that the review process ensures that social grants are only paid to beneficiaries who still meet the qualifying criteria.

Appointing A Procurator For Grant Reviews
Beneficiaries who cannot visit a SASSA office themselves may appoint a procurator to complete the review process on their behalf. However, the required documentation and procedures must be followed.
For assistance or more information, beneficiaries can contact SASSA through its toll-free call centre on 0800 60 10 11, available during working hours from Monday to Friday.
