How Van You Get your Grant:

  • Using SASSA Gold Cards: Beneficiaries with SASSA Gold Cards may withdraw money from ATMs, supermarket stores such as Shoprite, Pick n Pay, or Checkers, or collect them straight from SASSA collection points.
  • Bank Transfer: Those who, at the time of application, opted for payments through a bank will have their benefits directly credited into their bank account on scheduled dates. Ensure that bank details are updated and correct.
  • Post Office Payments: This means beneficiaries at the Post Office who receive grants would receive payments at the Post Office for grants other than temporary disability grants. Use another collection method.
