The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) hereby announces an increase in social grant amounts, effective October 2024. This adjustment applies to all social grant beneficiaries. SASSA reaffirms its commitment to providing essential support to South Africans in need and ensuring timely and secure grant payments.
New Grant Amounts as of October 2024:
Old Age Grant (Below 75 years): Increased from R2 180 (April 2024) to R2 190
Old Age Grant (Above 75 years): Increased from R2 200 (April 2024) to R2 210
War Veteran’s Grant: Increased from R2 200 (April 2024) to R2 210
Disability Grant: Increased from R2 180 (April 2024) to R2 190
Care Dependency Grant: Increased from R2 180 (April 2024) to R2 190
This increase, in addition to the increase earlier in April 2024, reflects the government’s commitment to improving the welfare of all grant beneficiaries.
Furthermore, payment dates for October 2024 are as follows:
Older Persons’ Grants will be paid from 02 October 2024, this includes any grants linked to these accounts
Disability Grants will be paid from 03 October 2024, this includes any grants linked to these accounts
Children’s Grants and all other grants will be paid from 04 October 2024
Beneficiaries are kindly reminded that there is no need to rush to withdraw funds on the first payment day, or to withdraw all their funds at once. It is safer to keep your funds in your bank account, transact with your card and only draw small amounts at a time. Funds will remain in client’s accounts and will not be forfeited if not withdrawn immediately.
SASSA remains dedicated to ensuring that all payments are processed smoothly, and beneficiaries receive the support they depend on without hassle.
