Sassa Grant Payment Dates February 2024
Grants and allowances for underprivileged individuals in need of financial support are disbursed by the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA). The dates on which social assistance beneficiaries would receive their awards in 2024 have been made public by the South African Social Security Agency (Sassa).
These grants include the Older Persons pension grant, Disability grant, War Veterans grant, Care Dependency grant, Foster Child grant, Child Support grant, Child Support grant Top-Up and Grant-in-aid.
Although Sassa usually aims to pay grants on consecutive days, this will not be possible in February 2024. This is because Sassa does not pay grants on weekends.
Beneficiaries of Disability and Child support grants will have to wait for the second week of the month for their grant payment.

About January Outstanding 2024 Grant Payments
In January 2024, Sassa suspended the grant payments of more than 150,000 grant beneficiaries.
Sassa explained that the non-payment of 150,000 social grants stemmed from inconsistencies in grant beneficiary details. These discrepancies include mismatched ID numbers with bank records, inaccurate banking details, and alterations in grant payment methods.
- The Auditor General (AG) promptly brought attention to this issue, prompting us to make a decisive decision to ensure that the correct grant is disbursed to the rightful recipients.
- To prevent individuals from erroneously receiving grants, the agency took the step of suspending these grant payments.
- Sassa said if a beneficiary did not receive their January 2024 grant payment and is found to be eligible for a grant payment; they will be paid during the February payment run.
- It was confirmed that they will receive a double grant payment, their outstanding January 2024 grant payment and their February 2024 grant payment.
SRD Grant
Those between the ages of 18 and 60 who are South African citizens, asylum seekers, refugees, and holders of special permits are eligible for the Social Relief Distress Grant (SRD). This award is for a monthly payment of R350.
Grants for the elderly, disabled, child support, and other categories are paid on schedule each month by SASSA.
