SASSA’s response to Covid-19 pandemic
SASSA encourages all social grants beneficiaries to adhere to non-pharmaceutical measures to curb the spread of this deadly virus.
Beneficiaries are urged to keep social distance, wear masks that covers both the nose and mouth, and sanitize or wash their hands regularly and avoid touching their face.
Further, with the spike of the third wave, beneficiaries are urged not to come in big numbers as their money is safe in their payment cards and can be accessed at any time when needed.
The Department of Health will also register the 60+ for vaccination at all paypoints. Clients for social grants-related queries can also contact SASSA toll free on 0800 60 10 11 or customer care line at 043 707 6300/6335 during office hours.
SASSA services at local offices are as follows
- Mondays – Old Age Grants
- Tuesdays – Disability Grants
- Wednesdays and Thursdays – Children’s Grants
- Fridays – Overflows
Beneficiaries are encouraged to also apply online using www.sassa.gov.za.
