Ward 36 councillor Wendy Morgan recently met with the area manager for Sassa to find out more about the process of getting new Sassa cards.<\/p>\n
Existing Sassa cards are still valid and can be used until the new cards have been rolled out.<\/p>
\u201cThere are going to be two options available,\u201d said Morgan.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe first option is having the grant paid directly into your own bank account.<\/p>
\u201cTo do this an Annexure C form needs to be collected from the Sassa office, taken to the bank to be verified and then taken back to the Sassa office with a certified copy of your ID, proof of address and your bank statement.<\/p>\n
\u201cThen your money will be paid into your account.<\/p>\n
\u201cPlease note bank charges will be incurred by yourself and accounts can be opened at any bank or at the post office.<\/p>\n
She added that the second option will be a card swop.<\/p>\n
