#SASSA The South African Social Security Agency has requested grant recipients to use “other payment methods due to cash challenges” KB

#SASSA says grant recipients wil not be able to access their money at any post office branch as well.

#SASSA staff, at these pay points, are issuing PIN codes to beneficiaries so they can withdraw money at a retail store or ATM’s.

#SASSA stresses grant beneficiaries can use their SASSA/SAPO cards to any retail store or ATM.

#SASSA says recipients of the COVID-19 Social Relief of Distress Grant should also NOT go to the post office to get their money.

#SASSA Those who opted to collect their grants at a post office, should visit the SASSA website : srd.sassa.gov.za and select the option to collect the grant at a retail store.

#SASSA says the arrangement is only for this month - any changes later on will be communicated.
