Avoid These Common Errors That Often Delay SASSA Payments
If your SASSA payment stops it might be because your bank details are wrong or SASSA needs to check who you are. Watch out for fraud because it can affect your payments. Remember that SASSA only allows one deduction each month and that deduction must be 10% or less of your grant. When you see any problems you need to tell SASSA immediately. You can go to their office yourself or send a text message to 34548 with your ID number and provider name. When your SRD status shows “referred” you should go online to confirm your identity so you can get your payment faster.
