The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) has publicized the social grant payment dates for December. If you or someone you know is a recipient of such a grant, it is important to be aware of when to anticipate or collect these funds. Social grants such as the R350 SRD Grant, Disability Grant, and Childcare Grant will be disbursed starting from next month.
Get to know when to anticipate or collect the social grant by checking which day SASSA will pay each of them. The SASSA grant payment schedule for December has been disclosed. Older Persons (Pensioners) and Disability Grants are prioritized and paid first, followed by other social grants.
The following are the designated pay dates:
– Older Persons/ Pensioners Grant: Friday, 1st December
