Caregivers and guardians across South Africa have just days to go before this month’s children’s grant payments become available, with SASSA confirming that the payment window opens on Thursday, 4 June.
Which SASSA grants are included?
The children’s grants category covers the Child Support Grant, the Foster Care Grant, and the Care Dependency Grant. Together these grants reach millions of households, providing a vital financial lifeline for vulnerable children. Payments are made via SASSA cards at retail outlets, post offices, and ATMs, or directly into linked bank accounts.
SASSA urges beneficiaries not to rush to collection points on the very first day. Spreading visits across the week reduces congestion and improves safety for elderly caregivers and young children. Retailers and ATMs in township areas typically see the heaviest traffic early in the morning on opening day
e-Life Certification: Complete it from Home
SASSA reminds beneficiaries that life certification no longer requires a trip to a SASSA office. The e-Life Certification platform, accessible through the Online Services Portal, allows caregivers to verify their status digitally using the electronic Know Your Client (eKYC) biometric system. Beneficiaries who have access to a smartphone or computer are encouraged to use this self-service option before collecting this month’s payment.
