SASSA Grant Payment Dates 2025 : Each month, the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) extends vital financial help to millions of South Africans. Now that the August 2025 payments have commenced, the beneficiary population can finally schedule their calendars upon the official release of the payment calendar by SASSA for the R370 Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant, pension grants, and disability grants. Simultaneously, the agency is also affording an ab initio glance into the payment dates for September 2025, thereby affording families the chance to plan ahead with peace of mind.
August 2025 SASSA Payment Dates
Payment processing for SASSA in August will take place as usual, with separate days slotted for the different categories of grants. Older persons’ pensions, including the monthly payout of R2,315, constituted the first of the payments. Disability grants payments followed suit, and shortly thereafter, the accounts of beneficiaries receiving the popular R370 SRD grant were credited.
Unlike with the other grants, SRD payments do not fall on dates set in stone but are processed in batches at intervals throughout the month; hence, beneficiaries could visit the SASSA website to check their status on payment and update their details before payment.
September 2025 Payment Schedule
SASSA is set to release the schedule for September 2025:
- Older Persons’ Grant : First week of September
- Disability Grant : The day after pensioners are paid
- Child Support And Remaining Grants : The very next day
- SRD R370 Grant : Processed in batches between mid-and late September
This schedule aims to avoid long queues at pay points and delays for beneficiaries receiving grants via banks, Postbank cards, or retailers.
Why This Schedule Matters
For millions of households, these payments are not just financial aid but their monthly means of survival. When beneficiaries know the dates in advance, they can plan to buy food, pay transport cost, school fees, or medical expenses.
It is next-level important for you to always keep your personal and banking information updated,” SASSA further said. “Most of these delays can be avoided. Wrong information leads to many beneficiaries having to wait weeks beyond the stipulated date for their needed money.
