SASSA addresses delays in the SRD R350 payments
SRD R350 Payment Delays are now solved. The South African Social Security Agency has sent an important message to SASSA SRD beneficiaries who have yet to be paid.
SASSA Challenges: What are the reasons for SRD R350 payment delays?
SASSA has been faced with numerous obstacles that have caused delays in disbursement. It is important that beneficiaries, who may be struggling with uncertainty about their financial assistance, understand these factors.
Incorrect or outdated beneficiary bank details in SASSA’s systems are a major cause of these delays. It is difficult to keep accurate information in a country where a large number of people are unbanked and banking details may change as a result of socio-economic changes. The beneficiaries are encouraged to confirm their banking details to ensure the processing of SRDR350 payments on time.
