The South African Social Security Agency in Mpumalanga has informed all special COVID-19 SRD grant beneficiaries that there is no fixed payment date for the grant.

SASSA said that this type of grant needs to be verified in the system every month whether the client is still qualifying to receive the grant.

Beneficiaries are reminded that this grant is not meant for people who are employed, receive alternative income or registered from UIF and NSFAS system,” the agency said.

SASSA said that by verifying the means test of the beneficiary the agency is fighting fraud and also ensuring that only qualifying people get the grant.

The agency has sent a stern warning to all those committing fraud with the grant that they will face the mighty hand of the law.
