The National Post Office has made Sassa grants available for pickup at their nearest post office branch. The order of collection for the grants, starting in January 2024, has recently been released.
South African Social Security Agency (Sassa) grants can be collected from several places working in collaboration with Sassa to distribute the Covid-19 Social Relief of Distress Grant (SRD) to citizens that have been left unemployed amidst the pandemic. One of these collaborators is the South African Post Office.
Although this collaboration with the SA Post Office is a beneficial one, Sassa and Sapo have considered the possibility for overcrowding and the potential for Covid-19 regulations to be neglected during collection.
As a result, they have devised a system to combat this issue by allowing citizens to collect their grants according to the last three digits of their ID numbers.
The January to February 2024 order of collection will commence according to the following:
- 10 January: ID numbers ending in 085 and 080
- 11 January: ID numbers ending in 081 and 086
- 12 January: ID numbers ending in 082 and 087
- 13 January: ID numbers ending in 083 and 088
- 14 January: ID numbers ending in 084 and 089
- 17 January: ID numbers ending in 080 and 085
