With June 2024 approached, SASSA has outlined the payment schedule for its social grants, ensuring beneficiaries can access their vital financial assistance promptly.
According to Official SASSA Website, the SASSA payment dates for June 2024 have been meticulously planned to facilitate an organized and hassle-free grant distribution process:
Old Age Grant: Tuesday, 4th June 2024
Disability Grant: Wednesday, 5th June 2024

Recognizing the diverse needs of its beneficiaries, SASSA offers various access methods to accommodate individual preferences and circumstances:
SASSA Card: This prepaid debit card enables grant withdrawal from ATMs, participating retailers like Shoprite, Checkers, and Pick n Pay, or designated SASSA pay points. It provides convenience and flexibility for beneficiaries.
Bank Account: For those preferring the security of traditional banking, SASSA facilitates direct deposits into personal bank accounts. Simply submit your details at the nearest SASSA office to set up this option.
Cash Payments: In areas with limited banking access, beneficiaries can collect their grants in cash from designated SASSA pay points, often located at community centers or municipal offices.
Prioritizing Safety and Security
While receiving social grants, SASSA emphasizes the importance of beneficiary safety and the security of funds. Key guidelines include:
Visiting payment facilities during off-peak hours to avoid overcrowding.
Checking SASSA’s official channels for any updates on payment schedules or locations.
When possible, being accompanied by a trusted companion during grant collection.
Immediately reporting lost or stolen SASSA cards to prevent unauthorized access.
Regularly changing PINs and never sharing them with others.
Responsible Financial Management
Alongside timely access, SASSA encourages responsible financial management of social grants:
Creating a monthly budget to prioritize essential expenses.
Exploring supplementary income opportunities or skills development programs.
Considering joining community savings groups (stokvels) for collective financial empowerment.
By adhering to the SASSA payment schedule, utilizing the access options provided, prioritizing safety and security, and practicing responsible financial management, grant beneficiaries can optimize the impact of their social welfare benefits. SASSA remains committed to supporting South Africa’s most vulnerable communities through its comprehensive social security initiatives.
