Why hasn’t your SASSA child grant been paid in 2024?

If you haven’t received your SASSA money, there could be several reasons behind it. It’s important to understand these reasons and take the necessary steps to resolve the issue. In this article, we will explore some possible causes for the delay and provide suggestions on how to address them.

Check your bank account balance

If you receive regular grants from SASSA, such as Old Age, Child Support, Disability, etc., make sure to check your bank account balance. It is possible that the money has been credited to your account, but you may have missed it.

Delays from the bank

Sometimes, delays in receiving SASSA payments can occur due to issues at your bank. If you suspect that your bank is experiencing delays, it’s a good idea to contact them for clarification. They will be able to provide you with more information about the status of your payment.

Confirm with SASSA

If you haven’t received your SASSA payment and you’re unsure whether it has been issued or not, you can reach out to SASSA directly. You can contact them through their helpline at 0800601011 or visit a SASSA store for assistance.

Check your SASSA card

Ensure that your SASSA card is intact and hasn’t been tampered with. Fraudsters and thieves may try to clone your card or access your PIN number. To prevent any unauthorized access, keep your card in a safe and secure place. If you suspect that your card has been compromised or stolen, report it immediately to SASSA, the post office, or the police.

For SRD R350 Grant

If you are expecting the SRD R350 grant, here are some additional suggestions:

Verify your bank information

Double-check your bank information to ensure that it is accurate and there are no pending updates. Incorrect or outdated bank details can lead to payment issues.

Approved pay dates

Make sure that the pay dates for the month in question have been approved. SASSA follows a specific schedule for payment, so it’s crucial to be aware of the approved dates.

Payment methods

If you’re using a merchant for payment instead of your bank, confirm whether they accept your preferred payment method. Different merchants may have different payment options available.

SMS notifications

While SASSA provides SMS notifications for payments, it’s important not to rely solely on them. These notifications may not always be reliable, so it’s essential to check your account regularly and not solely wait for SMS alerts.
