SASSA Old Age Grant 2025 : The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) has announced that the Old Age Grant will resume in September 2025. This is a sigh of relief for all pensioners who have had to go without financial assistance for months. They can now look forward to receiving their aid in a timely manner.
The announcement will be a relief especially to those who do not have the means to sustain themselves and rely on the grants to finance their food, medical care, and transport.
What Pensioners Should Know For September 2025
SASSA’s Old Age Grant is designed to assist South African citizens who are 60 years and older and have no stable income or adequate financial resources. The grant will be paid as usual for the month of September 2025. The standard grant will be R2,315 for those between 60 and 74 years, and the grant for pensioners 75 years and above will be maintained at R2,335.
Payments will be made to bank accounts, Post Bank, and to retail payment points, where beneficiaries without bank accounts can be paid.
Payment Dates For September 2025
The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) has announced that payments for the Old Age Grant will start on Wednesday, 3 September 2025. We would like to remind all pensioners that payments will still be available after the official payout date and therefore there is no need to visit the payment points on the first day of payment.
This method of payment ensures there are less people collecting at payment points at the same time and aids in smoother payment for all beneficiaries.
How To Ensure You Get Payments
To receive pension payments on time, pensioners need to:
- Check that SASSA has their current personal and banking details.
- Check their eligibility and continue to verify it through the SASSA’s online portal, WhatsApp, or helpline.
- Protect personal information and not share it with anyone who is not authorised in order to prevent fraud.
Any beneficiary who has missing or late payment problems must be helped at their closest SASSA office or by using the official helpline.
