What Post Office to Visit to Collect SASSA R350 Grant?

Sadly, grant recipients will no longer be able to receive the R350 benefit at post offices. While speaking with eNCA, Sassa’s spokesperson Paseka Letsatsi delivered a statement that left many in awe. So if you are a beneficiary of SASSA and you were collecting your grant from the post office in the past, now you can not get it from the post office anymore.

Due to an overwhelming number of applications and applicants, post offices are unable to manage the current workload; thus this decision was made.

How to Get SASSA R350 Grant Without a Post Office?

There is no need to worry because there are two other ways that you can use to get your grant money. We will let you know what those two options are here.

1) Via ATM Card

First, you have the option to get your grant via an ATM or debit card. Sassa will provide you with a card, which you can use at any South African ATM and each time when you need money, simply withdraw it from your card.

2) Via Bank Transfer

The second option is through bank transfer. You can get your grant money directly into your bank account. If you already have a bank account, then you must inform Sassa about it so that they can transfer the funds to your account.

These are the two options available for SASSA beneficiaries who previously collected their grant from post offices.
