SASSA: Payment method changes for COVID-19 Grant available for a week
- 03 August 2020
- Accounting
- South African Accounting Academy
This will be open from Monday, 3 August to Sunday, 9 August 2020, 24 hours a day. Approved beneficiaries of the COVID-19 Social Relief of Distress grant can change their payment method by visiting www.srd.sassa.gov.za
They can change from receiving their grant at the Post Office to a bank account of their choice or vice versa. They also have the flexibility to move from one bank to another.
This comes after a number of complaints from beneficiaries who were unable to receive their funds at the Post Office, and SASSA was swamped with complaints. Post Offices usually get packed on a daily basis and some people walk home disappointed.
SASSA has indicated that payments of the special grants are quicker if paid into a bank account.
Applicants who fail to update their method of payment and have provided incorrect banking details will receive their grant through the Post Office.
