💨 Abstract
SASSA will start distributing February 2026 social grants this week, benefiting over 19 million recipients. These grants include various types such as the Older Persons’ Pension Grant, Disability Grant, and Child Support Grant. SASSA has dismissed false claims about expanded eligibility for the Covid-19 SRD grant and assured that any changes will be formally announced. The agency urged the public to rely on official government communication platforms for accurate information.
