THE South African Social Security Agency (Sassa) has confirmed the payment dates for various social grants for May, which will be spread across two weeks.
This considers the public holiday on Wednesday, 1 May, formally known as the Worker’s Day.
Gogos and madalas will be happy to know that they'll be the ones to be paid first, with those getting disability and child support grants having to wait for the second week of the month for their payments.
Here are the May Sassa date
Older Persons Grant - 3 May 2024
Disability Grants - 6 May 2024
Children's Grants - 7 May 2024
Sassa has confirmed that social grant payments will be made on the second working day of each month; however, payments will not be made on public holidays or weekends.
