Resolving Banking Issues
SASSA R350 Payment Fix in 2025: Essential Details
SASSA is addressing issues related to frozen accounts linked to Ithala SOC Bank. To resolve this, emergency measures have been implemented in collaboration with First National Bank (FNB). Beneficiaries facing problems with their accounts are encouraged to contact SASSA for help and update their banking details to prevent delays.
Looking Ahead: Possible Grant Increases
As the cost of living continues to rise, many South Africans are hopeful that grant increases may be announced in April 2025. Additionally, there have been calls for SASSA to return to paying grants on the first day of each month, a practice that was temporarily halted during the COVID-19 pandemic.
With the February 2025 payment schedule now confirmed, SASSA is working to ensure that the process runs smoothly for all beneficiaries. For further assistance or queries, beneficiaries are advised to contact SASSA through local offices or helplines.
