December payment dates announced by SASSA
Beneficiaries are reminded that grants will remain available in their accounts after the scheduled payment dates, while those changing banking details are urged to do so before the monthly deadline.
The South African Social Services Agency (Sassa) has announced the payment schedule for December social grants, which will be paid out in the first week of the month.
December payments:
• Older Person’s Grant – December 2
• Disability Grant – December 3
• Children’s Grant – December 4
Beneficiaries are urged not to rush to withdraw their grants on the first day, as the funds will remain safely available in their accounts.
Those wishing to change their payment method or banking details must visit their nearest SASSA office with a valid ID and bank confirmation documents.
They will also be required to complete a consent form.
SASSA advises beneficiaries to submit any changes before the 19th of each month to prevent payment delays.
