SASSA Payment – Where To Collect

Since you can no longer collect your SRD SASSA payment from SA Post Office branches, you need to know where to get your monthly payments in future.

The following retail stores provide convenience for collecting your SRD SASSA payment.

Furthermore, the long queues found out post office branches leaving people queuing the whole day in some cases, should be alleviated.

Avoiding having so many people in a confined area was one of the reasons for discontinuing the SASSA R350 payment collection from post offices.

So for those recipients, who have re-submitted their R350 grant application and have been approved, these are the retail stores you can collect your money from.

• Checkers
• Shoprite
• Pick ‘n Pay
• Usave
• Boxer

Hopefully there is a store near you to make it a convenient and easy process to collect your monthly SRD SASSA payment in future.

Last Word On the SASSA Payment Issue

As their was a delay in the R350 grant payment dates, from April and May which are still being cleared, you may only receive part of your normal SASSA R350 payment.

Don’t worry as SASSA has said that you will receive the full R350 for that month that was paid late, even if it comes in part payments.

However, they also said that you will not receive two months’ payments in one go.

Once all the delayed payments have been cleared, beneficiaries should start receiving their regular SASSA payment every month.
