This article contains information on the SASSA Payments for November 2022. It contains the schedule, categories of people to receive the grant and the method of payment.
The South African Social Agency (SASSA) which covers various types of grant has raised a lot of questions with regards to when payments will be made.
The grants handled by SASSA include the following:
- Older person’s grant (old age pension)
- Child support grant
- War veteran’s grant
- Care dependency grant
- Foster child grant
- Grant in aid (if you live on a social grant but need someone to take care of you)
- Disability grant
Regardless of these challenges surrounding SASSA and grant payment, plans have been made to continue payments in 2022 and dates have been fixed for receipt of payments to approved beneficiaries.
SASSA PAYMENTS DATES FOR NOVEMBER 2022
However, SASSA announced the dates in which approved beneficiaries will receive their payments for July 2021. The dates are as follows:
- Older Person’s Grants will be paid from Wednesday 02 November 2022;
- Disability Grants will be paid from Thursday 03 November 2022;
- All other grants will be paid from Friday 04 November 2022; and
- If you receive more than one grant, and you claim Older Person or Disability payments, these will be paid at the same time, either on Wednesday 02 November 2022 or Thursday 03 November 2022.
Regarding the amount paid to beneficiaries, the amount paid changes every year. Currently, the maximum amount for old people is R1 780 per month but beneficiaries older than 75 years get R1800. Grant in aid beneficiaries get about R450 per month.
METHOD OF PAYMENT
The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) will pay the grant to beneficiaries through one of the following methods:
- Cash: The First Method is cash payment. This will be done at a specific pay point on the said day.
- Electronic Payment: The second method is via electronic deposit into the bank or Postbank account of beneficiaries. The bank may charge for the service.
- Organization: The third method is payment through an institution acting as administrator of the grant e.g. welfare organisation, old people home, etc.
Note: If you are unable to collect the money yourself, you can appoint a procurator at the SASSA office, or give someone power of attorney to collect the grant on your behalf.
Beneficiaries have been encouraged to always be honest and update SASSA if their financial circumstances change. Nonetheless, SASSA promised to be doing checks to ensure that the financial information provided by beneficiaries is complete and accurate so that the grants are provided to those who qualify for them.
Beneficiaries have also been admonished that there is no need to rush to withdraw cash on the first day of payment. This is because once the money is in the account, it will remain there until it is needed. Thus, when withdrawing the money they should be sure to observe all health protocols by wearing a mask, sanitizing your hands and keeping a safe distance from those around you.
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, every process of SASSA November payment has been mapped out. However, beneficiaries are equally required to be on the lookout in case of urgent updates and changes from the agency. Remember to stay safe and maintain every safety precautions while running around to get paid because the pandemic is real till proven otherwise.
