Can I collect my R350 grant at Boxer? 2023-2024

The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) pays social grants to qualifying individuals through various payment channels, including cash paypoints and retailers such as Boxer. Boxer is one of the retailers that partner with SASSA to distribute social grants to eligible beneficiaries.

• To collect your R350 grant at Boxer, you will need to have an active SASSA card. If you do not have a SASSA card, you can apply for one at your nearest SASSA office. Once you have a SASSA card, you can use it to withdraw your R350 grant at any SASSA-approved paypoint, including Boxer.
• To withdraw your grant at Boxer, you will need to provide your SASSA card and your identity document (ID) to the cashier. The cashier will then process your transaction and give you the cash equivalent of your grant amount. It is important to note that there may be transaction fees associated with withdrawing your grant at a retailer, so it is advisable to check with the retailer beforehand.
• In addition to Boxer, there are other retailers that partner with SASSA to distribute social grants, including Pick n Pay, Shoprite, and Checkers. However, the availability of these payment options may vary depending on your location and the specific payment channel you are using.
• It is important to note that SASSA has encouraged beneficiaries to switch to electronic payments, such as direct deposits into bank accounts or through e-wallets, to reduce the risks associated with handling large amounts of cash. Electronic payments are generally faster and more secure than cash payments, and they also eliminate the need to travel to a paypoint to collect your grant.
• To switch to electronic payments, you will need to provide SASSA with your banking details or register for an e-wallet service, such as SASSA's own SASSA Mastercard. Once you are registered, your grant payments will be deposited directly into your account, eliminating the need to collect your grant in person.

In conclusion, while it is possible to collect your R350 grant at Boxer and other retailers, electronic payments are generally more convenient and secure. It is therefore advisable to consider switching to electronic payments to receive your grant in a faster and safer manner.
