Dive into the world of SASSA grants and payments for April 2024. Discover the dates and steps to secure your social grant.

SASSA, the lifeline for millions
SASSA, the South African Social Security Agency, is the heartbeat of social grant payments in South Africa. With over 18 million grant recipients each month, including the SRD Grant, Disability Grant, and Child (and Foster Child) Grant, SASSA is a lifeline for many.

Mark your calendars: April payment dates
Older Persons (Pensioners) Grants kick off the month on April 3, followed by Disability Grants on April 4, and Childcare, Foster Child, and In-Aid Grants on April 5. Keep track of these dates to ensure a smooth collection process.

Navigating the grant process
To secure your SASSA grant, you must pass a Means Test to determine eligibility. Whether it's Child Grants, Disability Grants, or SRD Grants, each grant has its own application process. Reach out to SASSA for more information on how to proceed.

Transitioning from Postbank payments
SASSA is phasing out Postbank payments in April, prompting recipients to nominate a bank account for their grants. Retailers like Boxer, PNP, and Spar can still assist with grant collection, ensuring a seamless transition.

Gold cards stand the test of time
Despite previous announcements, gold cards remain valid throughout 2024. If you encounter any issues or have questions, don't hesitate to contact SASSA at +27 80 060 1011 or GrantsEnquiries@sassa.gov.za.
