September SASSA social grants will be of utmost importance to be able to distribute them to millions of South Africans, thus contributing to poor populations over time. Finalized grant amounts:
- Old Age Grant: R2,315 per month for senior citizens aged 60 and older.
- Disability Grant: R2,315 to be given to those who meet the criteria.
- Child Support Grant: R560 for every eligible child.
- Foster Care Grant: R1,250 for each foster child under a foster care order.
This reflected the government’s doing in promoting meaningful social protection to its people.
When Do September Payments Begin?
Payments are staggered in order to maintain decorum:
- Old Age and Disability Grants are first to be paid. Precise dates vary but are normally on or about the 2nd or 3rd of the month.
- After this, payments for Child Support, Foster Care, and Care Dependency Grants are settled.
The funds do not expire after this date; SASSA, thereby, encourages the beneficiaries not to rush to collection centers immediately and to secure that the funds are guaranteed and accepted after disbursement.
How To Check Your Beneficiary Status
Ensure you receive your grant without any issues by confirming the status prior to disbursement.
- By Phone: Call the SASSA toll-free line at 0800 60 10 11 for assistance.
- Online: On the SASSA website or mobile app, you should enter your ID to confirm the status of payments.
- In-Person: At the nearest SASSA office, take your ID and ensure it is confirmed face to face.
- It is best to check about two weeks before the actual payment to give the authorities enough time to sort out any problems.
Reasons Why Beneficiaries Receive Different Amounts
Not all beneficiaries receive the same grant. There are variations because:
- Grant-in-Aid: Where full-time care is required, some people may be paid this extra amount.
- Care Dependency or War Veterans Grants: These can sometimes differ from the standard amounts because of eligibility or need requirements.
