Qualifying Documents for SASSA Grant Payment Method Change
In todays latest SASSA News – Payments of Sassa social grants for May have begun. Grants may be deposited directly into a beneficiary’s bank account; however, there is a submission process that must be followed.
Social grant payments for this month have begun, and Sassa has had to make alternative social grant collecting mechanisms available to recipients. This followed the closure of several Post Office locations. Also Read: SASSA JUNE 2023 ONLINE APPLICATION
Sassa has thus made it clear that those who are receiving social grants and would like to have their money deposited into a bank account of their own must present certain proof of identity. The necessary paperwork, according to the agency, is as follows:
Identity documents, including a government-issued photo ID, and bank statements showing the client’s name and account number for the past three months.
All recipients of social grants with the exception of those receiving the Social Relief of Distress grant will be subject to the new regulations.
The new system will allow recipients more freedom and convenience by eliminating the requirement to travel to certain locations to make payments.
Sassa has also asked recipients to be as transparent as possible when updating their payment information. Payment processing times may be extended if supporting documentation are missing.
