Recently, many South Africans were left confused by a rumor claiming that SASSA would issue double grant payments in June 2025. The message quickly spread across social media, causing unnecessary concern and excitement among beneficiaries. To clear things up, SASSA officially announced that there will be no double payments issued next month. They confirmed that the circulating information is completely false and not backed by any legitimate source.
SASSA is encouraging all grant recipients to ignore these kinds of fake updates and only rely on their official website and verified social media pages for accurate information. Misinformation not only causes panic but also leads people to have unrealistic expectations.
No Extra Grant Payments Coming in June, Says SASSA
A recent rumor has been making the rounds online, suggesting that SASSA grant recipients would receive double payments in June 2025. This has caused a lot of confusion, especially among people relying on these monthly funds. But according to SASSA, there’s no truth to this story.
The South African Social Security Agency has stepped forward to set the record straight. There will not be any double payouts in June. The claim that every grant recipient—including those on disability, child support, and other assistance—would get double the amount due to rising living expenses is simply false.
SASSA emphasized that they haven’t made any such announcement, and they’re asking the public not to believe or spread unverified news. They’re reminding everyone that accurate information can only be found on their official channels.
Stick to the Official Sources
To avoid being misled, beneficiaries are strongly advised to follow SASSA’s verified platforms. Whether it’s their website or official social media pages, that’s where real-time and accurate updates will be posted. If anything changes with payment dates or amounts, SASSA will communicate it directly and clearly. In the meantime, people are urged to stay calm, be cautious of rumors, and share correct information to help stop the spread of confusion.
