Question

Will there be early social grants payments for this December?

Answer 1

Hey Lizy, yes there have been early payment of SASSA social grants to beneficiaries for the December month. The following is an extract from the SASSA website (Please do not confuse this with January payouts which will only be paid around the end of December): 

    STARTING DATES 

•     Funds will become available for collection at ATM’s and merchants from 26 November 2015.
•     Payment at pay points will start between 26 November and the 1^st of December 2015.

    FINISHING DATES 

•     The last date of payment at ATM’s and merchants will be 16h00 on 16 December 2015.
•     Last date of payment at pay points will be 15 December 2015

Please note that the above that NOT suggest that there will be two grant payouts for the month of December. Beneficiaries are entitled to one grant payout collectible between the Nov 26th and Dec 16th.
