SASSA warns against social grant scam
SASSA warns against social grant scam
The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) has dismissed claims suggesting that double grant payment will be made in June.
“These reports are untrue and should be rejected with the contempt they deserve,” SASSA national spokesperson, Paseka Letsatsi said.
In a statement on Friday, SASSA appealed to beneficiaries not to expect any double payment in June.
In line with the Ministry of Finance’s Policy Statement in March, Letsatsi said grant increases were announced and came into effect in April, and there will be another increase again in October 2025.
Any other increase not announced by credible and relevant authorities should be treated as lies,” Letsatsi said.
SASSA has also disputed reports claiming that "new rules could affect your pension” from 10 June 2025.
“On 30 April 2025, SASSA announced verification process only for targeted grant beneficiaries in the May 2025 payment run to encourage them to update their information at SASSA offices. The targeted beneficiaries were those who use alternative forms of identification other than the standard 13-digit South African identity number to receive their social grants.
“The other beneficiaries that are targeted include those identified through the bulk means test process, to check if they have some income that flows into other bank accounts that they did not disclose to SASSA. We appeal to our beneficiaries to only rely on credible sources of information on our official social media pages,” Letsatsi said.
Before anyone can share any information pertaining to social grants, they must first verify its authenticity to avoid disseminating false information that may cause anxiety and stress to our beneficiaries, he said. – SAnews.gov.za
