'Elderly' and 'persons with disabilities' to get early SASSA payout

The South African Social Security Agency, SASSA, has brought forward the payment of social grants for the ‘’elderly’’ and ‘’persons with disabilities’’ for the month of April in an effort to lower the risk of Covid-19 infection.

In a statement issued on Thursday, social grant beneficiaries were advised to access their monies via their bank accounts and not rush to paypoints on the first day of payment.

Sassa said it had decided to bring forward the payment of April's grants by two days, from the 1st of April to the 30th of March.

The agency said that all other grants should be collected from the 1st of April.
