It is very unusual for SASSA beneficiaries on the 15th of December to see payments made for the Social Relief of Distress, a monthly amount of R350, and also pensions on the same day. In the holidays that are setting in, this included, a double payment is being paid to ensure that beneficiaries have the money in their account.
This Double Payment Has Been Done
In December the payment program remains readjusted on an annual basis in the spirit of public holidays manifest in such closures. There exists the deprivation of soliciting force and increased expenditures that come with buying much for the holidays beginning at the end of the month of December, on the one hand.
Which Beneficiaries Will Gain from the Double Payment
The transfers to be made on 15 December will relate to specific beneficiaries only, i.e. payees of the old-age pension disbursements and those who were bundled in for the Social Relief of Distress R350 grant of December. Payment pleasure come through automatically and reflect upon those who have been confirmed and validated by SASSA, and they should not be called upon to lodge fresh applications.
How the Concerned But Maligned Will Be Paid
Beneficiaries will receive their payment through their usual payment channels, such as direct deposits into the banking system and pay points situated at chains like Shoprite or cash send services, depending on the channel of collection chosen by the beneficiary. SASSA has requested that beneficiaries check their balances before going to pay points to avoid overcrowding and long queues, especially during the festive period.
What Beneficiaries Need to Remember About?
Barring the victimization of early birds, SASSA really tries to serve its beneficiaries for smooth sailing. While the appeal for FinTech Bank is so strong, the processing of tiny transactions needs to be avoided, so that if it so happened that someone managed to squeeze money out of their financial accounts 24 hours in advance, the other remains bailed out with a reminder of 27 million others’ will-be posting on their bank statements.
