sassa increase 2023 dates 2023-2024
The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) has announced an increase in social grants to take effect in April 2023. The increase is meant to help beneficiaries cope with the rising cost of living and inflation.
The new rates will apply to all social grants, including old age, disability, child support, foster care, and the Care Dependency Grant. The increase will be calculated based on the consumer price index (CPI), which measures changes in the cost of goods and services.
The exact percentage of the increase has not been announced yet, as it will be based on the CPI figures for the previous year. However, SASSA has assured beneficiaries that the increase will be significant enough to make a difference in their lives.
The new rates will be effective from April 2023, and beneficiaries will receive their increased payments from the first payment date of the month. The exact payment dates for April 2023 will be announced by SASSA closer to the time.
Beneficiaries are advised to ensure that their banking details are up to date with SASSA to avoid any delays in receiving their increased payments. They can update their banking details online or at their nearest SASSA office.
SASSA remains committed to providing much-needed assistance to those who rely on social grants as a lifeline. The increase in social grants is just one of the ways that SASSA is working to improve the lives of vulnerable South Africans.
