SASSA children’s grants can be collected from today

SASSA has released payment dates for various grant categories, including old age, disability, and children’s grants for May 2024 and you can collect your children’s grants from today.

This comes after the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) released the payment schedule for the 2024/25 financial year.

According to SASSA, the first week of the month is reserved for elderly, child, and disability grant payments. 

The permanent SASSA grants have been increased. 

Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana delivered his 2024 Budget Speech to Parliament earlier this year.

Permanent social grants are increased to keep pace with inflation and increase access:

• An increase of R100 for old age, war veterans, and disability and care dependency grants. This amount will be divided into R90 effective from April, and R10 effective October;
• A R50 increase to the foster care grant; and
• A R20 increase to the child support grant.
