The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) has confirmed that social grant beneficiaries whose payments are under review will receive their August grants on Friday, 7 August, one day after the normal three-day payment cycle. The agency said beneficiaries whose grants have been flagged for review will not be paid during the standard payment dates but will instead receive their grants on the fourth payment day. However, beneficiaries whose grants are under review must still complete the review process during August to continue receiving their grants. Beneficiaries selected for review are notified via SMS, making it important to ensure that SASSA has up-to-date contact information.
