The SASSA grant increases are intended to help beneficiaries cope with the rising cost of living. The cost of food, housing, and other essential goods has been increasing steadily in recent months, and the grant increases will help to ensure that beneficiaries have enough money to meet their basic needs.
The SASSA grant increases will be effective from October 1, 2023. Beneficiaries will receive their increased payments in their bank accounts on the same day as their usual monthly payments.
The SASSA grant increases are a welcome relief for many beneficiaries. The rising cost of living has been a major challenge for many South Africans, and the grant increases will help to make a real difference in the lives of beneficiaries.
Beneficiaries can access their revised grants from various paypoints, including selected supermarkets – Pick n Pay, Boxer, USave, Checkers, and Shoprite.
You will have the option to use your Sassa card or CashSend option. Direct bank transfers are also available.
