SASSA has released a crucial announcement regarding applicants who have been approved for the COVID-19 SRD R350 grant and have opted to receive their funds through Cash Send or Wallet services. If you have received a specific pay date for your grant, SASSA kindly requests that you promptly collect your funds once you receive an SMS containing a voucher number from your chosen bank. It is vital to note that the voucher number has a limited validity period, emphasizing the need for swift action to ensure timely access to your funds.

This situation may indicate an unsuccessful mobile number verification.
