From the beginning of May, letters of notification will be sent out to inform non-compliant beneficiaries of the intention to stop their social grants within 90 days of notification.

The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) has to date re-registered 11 million social grant recipients on the new SASSA biometric payment card system.
