SASSA has made it clear that no social grants have been stopped even though some news reports suggested this was happening. The payment delays that some people experienced were due to normal checks of grant recipients. The agency explained that they must do these reviews by law to make sure people still qualify for their grants. This is a standard process and not a punishment for anyone. SASSA needs to check if people still meet the requirements to get their grants. The reviews help keep the system fair and prevent any misuse of grant money.
