what does it mean when sassa says approved 2023-2024

If you are one of the recipients of the R350 award whose applications have been approved, it is crucial that you are aware of the next step in receiving your funds.

The South African Social Security Agency announced that clients of Social Relief of Distress can now access their cash (Sassa).
The Organization issued a statement that read:

If your application has been granted and a payment date has been set, you may pick up the money at retailers.

Customers are urged to use payment options from supermarkets like Boxer, Pick ‘n Pay, Shoprite, Checkers, and USave as well as their Gold Sassa/Sapo card to withdraw money, according to Pasika Letsatsi, a spokesman for Sassa.

SRD grant recipients are asked to bring their ID documents and smartphones that they used while applying for their first award since a One-Time Password (OTP) will be provided to the beneficiaries’ cellphones in order to withdraw their monies.

Customers who will be withdrawing money from a supermarket will receive the full grant, down to the last cent, according to information provided by the South African Post Office (Sapo). Any ATM in the nation will accept the Gold Sassa/Sapo card, although the bank that owns the ATM will charge a fee for doing so.

Employees from Sapo and Sassa, according to Letsatsi, will be on hand to help customers with the various payment options.
