The deadline for replacing expiring SASSA Gold Cards has passed, but beneficiaries who haven't migrated will not lose their grant payments. The original deadline was August 31, 2026, for the Gold Cards to cease functioning. SASSA encourages all remaining beneficiaries to visit a designated Postbank card replacement site promptly. The switchover involves exchanging the Gold Card for a new Black Card to ensure continuous access to funds. Payments will continue regardless of the card status, provided beneficiaries eventually make the switch. This transition aims to modernize the grant distribution system and enhance security. Further details and site locations are available through SASSA and Postbank channels.
