Beneficiaries to collect their grant money from old Sassa card
Sassa would like to request such beneficiaries to collect their remaining social grant money from the old Sassa card by September 2018.
THE South African Social Security Agency (Sassa) has been inundated with beneficiaries indicating that they still have money in their old Sassa cards and that they want to move to the new gold Sassa card.
Sassa would like to request such beneficiaries to collect their remaining social grant money from the old Sassa card by September 2018.
This is in line with the Constitutional Court ruling that provided Sassa with a six-month contract extension period for phasing in the South African Post Office and phasing out Cash Paymaster Services.
Beneficiaries when receiving the new card are urged to keep the old card until the social grant money reflects on the new card. This is especially for beneficiaries who will replace their cards after August 20 of this year.
It is important for all beneficiaries using the old Sassa card to swap their cards by end of September 2018.
Sassa has offices open in communities on Saturday to cater for the beneficiaries who are not able to visit our offices during the week.
To avoid a stampede, beneficiaries are urged to urgently change their old cards to the new gold Sassa card with immediate effect.
