Beneficiaries can now change their personal information on the SASSA SRD platform. This was made possible by the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA). This is important because it lets people who get social grants ensure their information is correct and up-to-date, which can avoid delays or other problems with getting their money.
Beneficiaries can update their personal information, such as their home, contact information, and bank account information, all through the online platform. Changing these things in person at a SASSA office would have taken more time and work. Overall, this feature makes it easier for people to handle their social grants and ensures the process is more efficient and effective.
