R560 Child Support Grant 2025 : A headline’s worth of good for South Africans: from September 2025, the South African Social Security Agency intends to keep the Child Support Grant (CSG) steady at R560 per child. The CSG is one of the most important forms of support for low income families, and it gives a helping hand to caregivers of children during difficult economic times.
Why The Child Support Grant Is Important
To some South Africans, the CSG represents much more than financial support- it represents a lifeline to survival. The CSG protects children’s access to food, clothing, school supplies and basic necessities even as the cost of food, transport and electricity continues to soar.
The rise to R560 earlier this year has made a modest yet helpful improvement for families, and the confirmation for September 2025 assures caregivers that the payment will not decrease.
Payment Dates For September 2025
Below is the schedule that was released by SASSA showing official grant payment dates for September:
- Older Persons Grant: 3 September 2025
- Disability Grant: 4 September 2025
- Children’s Grant and CSG: 5 September 2025
This schedule allows beneficiaries to plan ahead and make sure they access their funds on time. Payments will be available through bank accounts, retail stores, and official SASSA pay points throughout the country.
How To Check Your Payment Status
Beneficiaries are encouraged to verify their payment status before visiting collection points to avoid unnecessary delays. You can:
- Access the SASSA online portal with your ID number.
- Use the SASSA WhatsApp service for immediate information.
- Get in touch with your closest SASSA office for in-person support.
You must also check that your payment methods as well as personal details have not changed so as to avoid delays.
