Revised News Title: SASSA Announces South African Social Security Agency's October Payment Schedules

In recent developments, beneficiaries of the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) can now access their grant balances using various methods, following the upcoming end of Postbank's payment partnership.

For those updating their bank details online with SASSA, it is essential to ensure secure internet connections and verify the official SASSA website to avoid potential fraud. When providing personal information, it's crucial to avoid sharing it via email or phone, and to use strong, unique passwords to protect your account.

One convenient method for checking your balance is by sending an SMS. Simply type "SASSA" followed by "STATUS" and send it to SASSA's WhatsApp number (082 046 8553). This will provide step-by-step prompts for you to receive your current balance.

Alternatively, you can use your mobile phone to check your balance using USSD codes. Dial 1203210# or 12069277# from a mobile number registered with SASSA. This method works on any basic cellphone and does not require airtime or data.

If you prefer a more personal approach, you can visit your nearest SASSA office. However, it is advisable to bring your ID and grant card for assistance.

Lastly, beneficiaries can log in to the SASSA online portal at srd.sassa.gov.za or the official SASSA site. After entering your grant details and having internet access, you can view your balance instantly.

These new methods offer a more accessible and convenient way for beneficiaries to manage their SASSA grant balances, ensuring they have the necessary funds for their needs.
