How to Cancel SASSA Grant

If you no longer need a SASSA grant, it is essential to cancel it to avoid penalties or even jail time. The good news is that stopping your SASSA grant is a simple process you can do via the SASSA website, mobile app, or by visiting the nearest SASSA office. It is important to note that payments will stop automatically once the grant gets canceled, and SASSA will pay out via your chosen method. It is essential to update your banking details if you change banks or account numbers.

If you receive your grant money in your bank account and want to reverse a SASSA payment, you should contact your bank as soon as possible and inform them of the situation. You should also call SASSA and provide them with the payment details, the reason for the reversal, and any additional information or documentation that may be required. It is important to remember that you should not see your SASSA funds as free money but rather as a helping hand from the government to assist you. So, if you no longer meet the means criteria or the recipient dies/ages out of the grant eligibility criteria, you should stop your grant to avoid fraud.
