Beneficiaries of all types of permanent Sassa grants will be able to collect their money next week. Here’s a reminder of the dates.
The South African Social Security Agency (Sassa) will disburse June payments to permanent grant beneficiaries next week.
The agency disburses more than 19 million permanent grant payments, 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.
In addition, the Covid-19 Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant has served as a lifeline to about eight million South Africans, refugees and asylum seekers since May 2020.

Grant payment options
Permanent Sassa grant beneficiaries have the option of having their grants paid directly into their bank account. This is a convenient payment method, as you can access your money at any time after Sassa makes the payment.
Sassa grants are paid to selected stores around the country. Pick n Pay, Shoprite, Boxer stores, Usave stores, OK and Checkers all distribute social grants.
There are also mobile cash pay points where you can collect your money. However, this is not a flexible payment option, and you may only collect your grant payment for a few hours every month.
