RUSTENBURG HERALD - RUSTENBURG - In its efforts to ensure that the right grant is paid to the right person, the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA), will continue to review social grants of targeted beneficiaries suspected to have other alternative sources of income that were not disclosed to SASSA.
These targeted beneficiaries are expected to present themselves at a SASSA Local Office where their eligibility will be reviewed to ascertain whether or not they remain eligible for the social grant that they initially applied for. Beneficiaries who fail to comply with this process risk having their grants suspended.
“It is also important to note that no grant has been suspended yet. SASSA has only amended the payment schedule for those beneficiaries who have been requested to come in for a review,” said SASSA’s National Spokesperson, Paseka Letsatsi.
The Agency encourages all beneficiaries to disclose any alternative sources of income and to report any additional bank accounts not previously declared. Furthermore, beneficiaries still using the green bar-coded ID book are urged to replace it with the smart ID card, due to the increased risk of fraud associated with the older ID format.
For more information on grant reviews, clients are urged to contact the SASSA toll-free customer care line on 0800 60 1011 or
