The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA)
reminds social grant recipients that payments for July 2022 will commence on 4 July for Older Persons, followed by Disability
Grants on 5 July, with all other grants being paid from 6 July.
Clients who do not have PIN codes or who have
forgotten their PINs, are encouraged to ensure that they reset their PIN codes
at their nearest Post Office outlet. Those who have PIN codes and still
remember them need not renew their PIN.
This will enable SASSA’s clients to utilise all available
channels to access their grants and give them the freedom to use their SASSA
cards at all Points of Sales, such as ATMS and merchant stores (for example
Pick n Pay, Shoprite, Boxer or U-Save).
In addition, beneficiaries who receive their social
grants at SASSA mobile pay points are also advised that they can access their
grants through the above-mentioned payment infrastructures on the allocated
days for the specific grants, or anytime thereafter, and do not have to wait
for the cash payment dates.
Furthermore, beneficiaries are advised to be vigilant
and cautious when using their PINs at all times, and not to share this with
anybody, even close family members.
