sassa payment dates for august 2023-2024

As July comes to an end, it’s crucial to know when your SASSA awards will be disbursed. We can tell you when SASSA will make grants payments in August.

Given that July is soon to close, you might be interested to learn when your August SASSA award will be paid.
The South African Social Agency (SASSA) has announced the following payment dates for the month of August 2021:

Older Person’s Grants 3 August
This includes any grants linked to these accounts
Disability Grants 4 August
This includes any grants linked to these accounts
Foster Care Grants 5 August
Care Dependency Grants 5 August
Child Support Grants 5 August

The reinstatement of the R350 grant was just announced by the President. On the other hand, neither applications nor payments have yet been made.
However, SASSA has made it plain that no payments will be paid for the last batch of R350 awards, for which applications were due in April, in the months of May, June, or July. Payments, however, are still being made for the months up until April.
The fact that the R350 grant payment date is not specified must also be kept in mind.

The SASSA also disclosed the following payment dates for Kwazulu-Natal pay points:

Durban 6 – 12 August
Pietermaritzburg 6 – 16 August
Midlands 6 – 17 August
uLundi 6 – 18 August

The charity wants to let the recipients know that they don’t have to rush to get their hands on cash right now. Once placed, the money will remain in the account until it is needed.

18 million people will get social assistance during the current fiscal year, which would cost SASSA R195 billion. 95% of the Department of Social Development’s (DSD) budget is made up of social grants.
