Double SASSA Payment Of R9,200 : A wave of excitement has swept across South Africa as reports circulate that starting from approximately the 24th of July, the SASSA will be in full flow to pay this extra “double payment” of R9,200. While many have received confirmations, official sources urge beneficiaries to exercise caution.
What Happens On 24 July?
Community alerts have repeatedly stated that SASSA will have a double payment week whereby beneficiaries can receive their normal grant plus an additional grant top-up so much so that the two totals to a double. Just to name one:
- Your Old-Age Pension sometimes R1,890 could double to R3,780.
- The Child Support Grant could double to 900 from 450.
- Disability and War Veterans’ Grants could be doubled along the same lines.
This is in line with local news sites citing reports that this extraordinary payment will be given sometime toward late July.
Who Qualifies And How It Works
It seems all existing grant recipients are included; no additional application is required for it. SASSA should therefore disburse the bonus payment automatically through the existing channels, bank, or SASSA card, in addition to your regular grant.
Nationally, this has never been confirmed by the official SASSA announcements and in the past, there were similar rumors for June and July that were dismissed. Therefore, there still remains a vestige of confirmation as to whether the payments are indeed being made in some provinces as mentioned.
What Should The Grant Beneficiaries Do?
- Closely monitor your bank account from July 24 to July 25.
- Ensure that your bank or SASSA card details are updated and accurate.
- Don’t get worried if you don’t receive your bonus immediately; it might be staggered by grant type or region.
- Common scam messages will ask people for extra payments; never pay or share your OTPs or personal information with anyone in return for these funds.
What’s Real Vs Rumour
The leads arise from isolated provincial trials and feverish online chatter. Some reports, allegedly from within communities, say that beneficiaries are getting double sums of up to R9,200; but national load has yet to be confirmed. Market, therefore, caution with trusted sources and SASSA announcements.
