Does SASSA money expire if not withdrawn?

South Africa’s Social Security Agency (SASSA) helps low-income families by giving them money through “social grants.” Many SASSA recipients wonder if their money will run out if they don’t claim it. The good news is that SASSA funds never run out, so people who get them can take their money out whenever they want without thinking about losing it. But it’s important to note that grant recipients shouldn’t leave their money unused for too long. If their grant is cancelled because they haven’t done anything with it, they might have to reapply.
