SASSA issued the payment schedule for the month of December 2024, and this was very important for millions of South Africans who depend on a grant for financial assistance. These are important grants so that other vulnerable citizens, such as the old people, the disabled, and the children, can meet their most basic needs. Only one thing is important with the approach of the end of the year-these payments need to be aware of their dates and their amounts for grants received. Here is the last word on the SASSA grant payment dates as well as the amounts for December 2024.
Grant disbursement dates SASSA for December 2024
SASSA pays grants to beneficiaries on specific dates of every month. The payment schedule is as follows for December 2024:
Old Age Grant-: The payment for the first day will be Monday, 4 December 2024. This will cover Older Persons Grant and the War Veterans Grant. Beneficiaries should ensure they collect their payments through the SASSA card or any point of collection designated to them.
Disability Grant: The payment days for the Disability Grant start on Tuesday, December 5, 2024, and apply to both the Disability Grant and the Disability Grant for Children. Beneficiaries are encouraged to check the status of these payments to ensure they receive their support timely.
Child Support Grant: The Child Support Grant (CSG) payments will start from Wednesday, December 6, 2024. This grant provides assistance to millions of families to enable them to provide for their children under 18 years of age in at least the most basic areas such as food and education.
Foster Care Grant: The first payment of the Foster Care Grant will be made on Thursday, December 7, 2024. Foster care families should go to the designated sites or use their SASSA-issued cards to draw the payment. Grant-in-aid: This grant will be paid from Friday, December 8, 2024, to beneficiaries who need extra support because of their impairment.
SASSA Grant Payments
SASSA has several ways for beneficiaries to collect their grants. The most popular methods are:
- Deposit to Savings Account: Those who have registered their bank accounts with SASSA will receive payment directly collected into the account.
- SASSA Gold Card: beneficiaries may procure their SASSA Gold Cards from SASSA offices to access and utilize their grants at ATMs and selected retailers.
- Post Office: Beneficiaries can also collect their payments at their local South African Post Office branches where they can receive their payments in cash.
SASSA Grant Rates for December 2024
The South African government and SASSA are working together to adjust the amounts of the grants periodically to effects from inflation or the cost of living. Grant rates for December 2024 would be reflected as such. Hence, the new increase will boost SASSA’s ability to verify the surging cost of goods and services: Older Persons Grant: R2,080 per month.
- Disability Grant: R2,080 per month.
- Child Support Grant: R510 each child per month.
- Foster Care Grant: R1,080 per child per month.
- Grant-in-aid: R480 per month (in addition to the Disability Grant).
These rates give a paltry rise that helps beneficiaries ensure some affordability relating to their expenses. However, it is important to note that grants are given yearly, and their amounts may change due to government policy and other economic factors.
