Will SASSA pay double? 2023-2024

As of May 2021, there has been no official announcement from the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) regarding the payment of double grants. However, there have been reports and rumors circulating on social media and other platforms suggesting that SASSA may pay double grants in the future. It is important to note that these reports and rumors have not been confirmed by SASSA or any official government sources.

• SASSA pays social grants to eligible beneficiaries on a monthly basis. The payment dates vary depending on the type of grant and the region. Generally, payments are made from the first day of the month and continue throughout the month. For example, pension and disability grants are usually paid on the first day of the month, while child support grants are paid on the first working day of the month.
• It is important for beneficiaries to check their payment dates regularly to ensure that they receive their grants on time. SASSA provides several ways for beneficiaries to check their payment dates. They can check their payment dates on their SASSA card or through the SASSA website. They can also contact the SASSA call center or visit their local SASSA office for assistance.
• The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the economy and the financial well-being of many South Africans. In response, the government has provided additional financial support to vulnerable individuals and households through various relief measures, including the Special COVID-19 Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant.
• The SRD grant was introduced in May 2020 to provide temporary relief to individuals who are unemployed or do not receive any other form of social grant or UIF payment. The grant was initially set at R350 per month and was extended several times, with the last extension ending in April 2022.
• As of May 2021, there has been no official announcement regarding the reinstatement of the SRD grant or any other forms of financial relief. However, the government has indicated that it is committed to providing support to vulnerable individuals and households during the pandemic and beyond.

In conclusion, while there have been rumors of SASSA paying double grants, there has been no official announcement or confirmation from SASSA or the government. It is important for beneficiaries to check their payment dates regularly and to be aware of any changes or updates from SASSA. The government continues to provide various forms of financial relief to vulnerable individuals and households, and it is important for those in need to seek assistance through the appropriate channels.
