Managing Your SASSA Payment
It's important to use your SASSA money wisely for important things like transportation, food, rent, and bills. Save some for emergencies or unexpected expenses. Keep track of your spending and review it regularly to make good choices with your money.
To use your money wisely, try not to spend it on unnecessary things. You can also talk to a financial counselor to get advice on how to manage your money better.
Also, if your work, income, or family situation changes, tell SASSA right away. These changes can affect if you still qualify for the payment.
