Social Relief of Distress beneficiaries who opted to use the South African Post Office for SASSA grant payments have been encouraged to collect their R350 only after receiving an SMS informing them that their grant is available.

The Post Office says beneficiaries can visit their nearest Pick ‘n Pay or Boxer supermarket or post office to collect their grant.

It further says that if people chose a bank account or cash send as your payment method they will receive the money through the bank they chose.

The grant will not be available if beneficiaries attempt to collect it before they have received an SMS.

The Post Office says it has become aware of large numbers of beneficiaries who try to withdraw their R350 SRD grant before receiving their SMS.

It adds that during this week it will not pay out any SRD R350 grants as the first week of every month is set aside for paying our old age, disability and child grants.
