The South African Social Security Agency (Sassa) is a Social Development Department entity responsible for administration and disbursement of social assistance to the needy South Africans, documented refugees and permanent citizens of the country.
Sassa Branches
Sassa has branches in all South African Provinces and the branches opens daily to assist clients and beneficiaries in their local areas.
Social Grants Payments
It is the responsibility of the South African Social Security Agency to disburse social grants monthly to the right person at the right time. Sassa distributes social grants at the beginning of each month starting on the second day of the month. If these days fall on weekends, Sassa uses the next weekdays to disburse the grants.
Payment Methods
The grants are paid into the recipients’ Sassa cards and are collected in various ways such as ATMs, Retail tellers or cash points. In the month of May however, Sassa experienced challenges in servicing the pay points leading to encouraging beneficiaries to use alternative methods to access their funds.
