SASSA has released its payment schedule for social grants for next January. Older Persons' Grants will be issued first on the sixth, followed by Disability Grants on the seventh, and children's grants on the eighth. The agency reminded recipients to update their personal details to prevent any payment issues.
The announcement reinforced the need for biometric checks like fingerprint scans to fight fraud, ensuring money goes to the right people. It also noted that recent COVID relief payments for December have finished, advising declined applicants to use the official appeals process if they believe bank or income data was wrong. Officials warned everyone to ignore payment rumors on social media and get information only through verified SASSA channels.
