SASSA SRD Grant Payments, Collections and Withdrawals
For all the South African Social Security Agency recipients, you can no longer collect or do withdraws at the South Africa post office anymore.
SASSA SRD grant collections can be made using an alternative method that has been made available by the South African Social Security Agency.
SASSA SRD R350 Withdrawal and Collection
Once you have checked your status and have been approved for the R350 SRD grant, the following are the payment methods that you can use to collect your SASSA grant.

| Where to Collect SASSA Grant and Payments |
|---|
| Boxer |
| Pick ‘n Pay |
| Usave |
| Shoprite |
Please note, to collect SASSA payments, all recipient needs to have corresponding identity documents and cell phone number that they used for their grant status approval.
That is, you should have the Smart ID card / green bar ID, and cell phone number that you used to register for your South African Social Security Agency grants.
Please be aware that all the communication that includes SASSA payment confirmation will be sent to this cell phone number that you have supplied.
SASSA Card and Bank Account
The South African Social Security Agency has alternatively advised those who are eligible of bank accounts to rather use their personal bank accounts to receive their payments and collection. This is the most convenient way for the department to distribute payments and collections.
Just some tip and advise, if you are going to register for SASSA grants using you own bank account, please ensure that you are not receiving any money from other sources on this bank account.
The issue is, there are so many people who have been declined on the status to receive the SASSA payments although they really need this support.
Some of these people have bank accounts that they might have relatives using them to send money for other reasons not related to their personal income.
For successful SASSA status to approval, the department conducts investigation up to a level of bank account to ensure that you are not receiving any income.
Although these has really had a very bad and negative impact to those who where not aware and used bank accounts that have been receiving funds elsewhere for other reasons.
Conclusion
Please note that there are other alternative methods of payment for SASSA payments, you can use the following merchants, Boxer, Shoprite, Pick n’ Pay, and Usave.
Alternatively, you can use your personal bank account which is more convenient to receive you payments.
