Important Updates & Reviews:
SASSA is intensifying its review process to ensure beneficiaries remain eligible. Recently, some recipients were disqualified due to undeclared income. If you've been flagged for review, make sure to submit the requested documents promptly. SASSA emphasizes that these reviews are not meant to punish beneficiaries but to ensure grants reach those who truly qualify.
Key Changes to Old-Age Grants:
The September 2025 SASSA Old-Age Grants will feature earlier payments, starting September 2. There will also be added payment flexibility with a backup date, increased income and asset eligibility thresholds, stricter income verification, and stronger protections against fraudulent deductions.
PostBank Contract Ending:
If you receive your grant via Postbank, be aware that the contract between SASSA and Postbank is ending in September. This could potentially lead to payment issues for over 2 million beneficiaries. SASSA is working on finding a solution, but it's something to keep an eye on.
Stay informed and ensure your details are up-to-date with SASSA to avoid any disruptions in your grant payments.
