As May 2024 approaches, millions of South Africans eagerly await their social grant payments, and Sassa has now unveiled the payment dates for the month.
Sassa, the South African Social Security Agency, has released the grant payment schedule for May, impacting over 18 million individuals dependent on social grants. These grants encompass a range of support systems, including pensions, disability grants, and child support.
While Sassa typically aims to disburse grants on consecutive days, May 2024 presents a slight deviation from this pattern due to weekends and public holidays. Consequently, beneficiaries receiving disability and children’s grants can expect a slight delay in their payments.
Here are the grant payment dates for May 2024:
- Older Persons Grant: Friday, 3 May
- Disability Grants: Monday, 6 May
- Children’s Grants: Tuesday, 7 May
Sassa emphasizes that once the grant is deposited into beneficiaries’ accounts, there’s no rush to withdraw cash immediately. The funds will remain safely in the account until needed.
Furthermore, Sassa has confirmed the payment values for May 2024:
- Older Persons Grant: R2,180
- Older Persons Grant (Older Than 75) (including Additional Payment): R2,180 + R20
- War Veterans (including Additional Payment): R2,180 + R20
- Disability Grant: R2,180
- Care Dependency Grant: R2,180
- Foster Child Grant: R1,180
- Child Support Grant: R530
- Child Support Grant (Top-Up): R530 + R260
- Grant In Aid: R530
This announcement provides crucial information for beneficiaries, enabling them to plan and manage their finances effectively throughout the month.
