SASSA has announced that both the Child Support Grant and Grant-in-aid grants will increase by R10 to R430 per child, per month as from today 01 October 2019
National Spokesperson Paseka Letsatsi says this is in line with the announcement made by the Minister of Finance in the Budget Speech earlier this year.
He says this much-needed increase will help ease the financial strain that beneficiaries are under during this tough economic climate.
Social Grant beneficiaries are further informed that October grants are now available and can be collected at ATM’s, merchant stores or the Post Office.
Beneficiaries who receive their grants at cash pay points will continue to receive their grants on normal days as communicated to them during their last payment.
Social grants are usually paid from the first of every month except in months where the 1st falls on a weekend or public holiday, in which case grants are available on the last working day before the 1st.
For further clarity, social grant beneficiaries are encouraged to call SASSA’s toll-free customer care line on 0800 60 10 100.
