are sassa cards being changed 2023-2024

Millions of South Africans who get social grants access and use their monies using a special gold card. The company that hands out these handouts, however, has put an end to rumors regarding these gold cards.

The South African Social Security Agency (Sassa) has promised grant beneficiaries that their Sassa gold cards won’t be changed. This is in response to several false allegations that the organization will be replacing the cards.

More than 18 million winners of extremely durable awards who access their social award money on a monthly basis use Sassa gold cards.

Examples of permanent grants include the Care Dependency Grant, the Older Persons Grant, the Disability Grant, the Child Support Grant, the Foster Care Grant, the Grant in Aid, and the Child Support Grant.

Due to erroneous social media allegations that the gold Sassa card was being replaced, the agency said that many grant beneficiaries were panicking.

According to Sassa, the Sassa Gold Card is still an acceptable and legal installment option on the Public Installment Framework. This also applies to shops and ATMs.

The agency also assured grant recipients payment in December 2022.

“Messages on social media suggesting grant applicants will not receive their grant payment in December if they have not replaced their cards are untrue,” they declared.

Award recipients were given the assurance by Sassa that any alterations to grant payment choices would be announced via Sassa officials, media outlets, and official Sassa social media platforms.

There will be no disclosures made in this regard using personal social media accounts or unidentified voicemails.
