Sassa Grant beneficiaries have two options for receiving their grants. They can choose to have their grant automatically deposited into their bank account.

Alternatively, beneficiaries can collect their grants in cash from various locations, including ATMs, Pick n Pay stores, Checkers stores, Shoprite stores, and Boxer stores.
