Why November 2024 Grant Payments Are Late
Typically, Sassa aims to begin payments on the second day of each month. However, payments do not occur on weekends or public holidays. Since the second day of November fell on a weekend this year, grant payments were delayed to today.
This required Sassa to move Sassa grant payments to the next available weekday. Sassa indicated that grants will not be paid on Monday, 4 November 2024 but rather from Tuesday, 5 November 2024.
