The South African Social Security Agency (Sassa) has begun paying grants for September 2024. More than 18 million people will receive permanent grant payments during the first week of the new month.

Sassa has clarified that social grants will not be disbursed on public holidays or weekends. If the second day of the month falls on a non-business day, the payment will be made on the subsequent weekday.
In September, beneficiaries can expect to receive their grants on consecutive days, ensuring there are no delays.

Sassa has also emphasised that beneficiaries are not obligated to collect their funds immediately. The money will remain in their accounts until needed.
There is no need to rush to withdraw cash on the first day. Once the money is in the account, it will remain there until it is needed.
Sassa grant beneficiaries have two options for receiving their grants.
They can choose to have their Sassa grant automatically deposited into their bank account. This is the recommended option, as the money stays safe in the account until it's needed.
Alternatively, beneficiaries can collect their grants in cash from various locations, including ATMs, Pick n Pay stores, Checkers stores, Shoprite stores, and Boxer stores.
