Effect of the 1st of May public holiday on SASSA payment timetable
Rewritten Article:
Hey there! If you're a SASSA grant recipient wondering about your May payments due to the 1st being a public holiday, you're in the right place.
Now, let's clear up any confusion about potential delays. Since 1 May is a public holiday (Workers' Day), SASSA won't be processing any payments on that day. Fear not, though; they'll start issuing payments from the 3rd instead, as they usually handle grants on the next business day after weekends or public holidays.
So, what can you expect and when will your money arrive? Here's a breakdown:
- Old Age Grant: You can expect your funds on Tuesday, 6 May.
- Disability Grant: Your disability grant is set for Wednesday, 7 May.
- Child Support Grant: These payments are expected to roll out on Thursday, 8 May.
SASSA advises all beneficiaries to ensure their banking and card details are up-to-date to prevent any delays in receiving their payments. To steer clear of long queues and ATM congestion, beneficiaries are encouraged to collect their funds a day after these dates.
Worried about missing out on crucial information? Worry no more! You can stay informed by keeping an eye on the SASSA website or giving them a call. Happy grant season!
