SASSA: August payments now available – but where is the R350 grant?

Tuesday is an important day for SASSA beneficiaries, as the first payment dates for August now go live. However, confusion remains over the R350 grant, and when exactly that will come back online.

When are SASSA payment dates for August?

The payment dates for this month will see the Older Persons’ Grants released on Tuesday morning, with Disability Grants and all other handouts following on Wednesday and Thursday respectively.

  • Tuesday 3 August 2021: Older Persons’ Grants
  • Wednesday 4 August 2021: Disability Grants
  • Thursday 5 August 2021: All other grants

What date will the R350 grant return?

We know that all claimants of the R350 grant WILL have to resubmit their details to SASSA, giving people a chance to update their details and banking information 16 months after SRD payments were first introduced.

The Treasury is still working to finalise the first available date. There are another two major departmental meetings to go this month before we find out. Mid-August looks like our best bet, here.

“We are still working with the SASSA department to ensure our systems are in place. As soon as we conclude that meeting, Social Development will then hold a briefing, and that is when we will discuss the start date.” | Mampho Modise

R350 Grant warning: Beware of SASSA scams

Of course, with many eager to reclaim their financial lifeline with the R350 grant, there will be some who are desperate to believe anything. But SASSA is warning clients to remain vigilant against scams.

Any promotional offer that asks you to provide personal information – such as this ‘food parcel vouchers’ scam – is not part of SASSA protocol, and must be ignored at all costs. You should never share intimate details regarding your finances with a website you’ve never encountered before.
