SASSA R1,250 Foster Child Grant 2025 : South African families that cash in on the Foster Child Grant have some good news this month: South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) has said that the payments of R1,250 are proceeding as schedule. Beneficiaries should thus be checking their payment status before September 5, 2025. It is an important update meant especially for guardians and foster parents who rely on this grant in caring for the children on their charge. 

Why Does The Foster Child Grant Matter?

The Foster Child Grant is among the most efficacious mechanisms of social uplift operated by SASSA. It is provided to defray expenses for foster families. With cost of living surging, from foodstuff to school charges, the monthly R1,250 payment offers some measure of relief to thousands of households.

When And How To Check Your Status

SASSA has instructed all beneficiaries to ensure they check their payment status before the 5th of September to avoid any delays. Here’s how one can do this:

  • Go to the official SASSA website and log into their system with their ID number and mobile number to check the details of their grant.
  • Use the Moya App- we could call it a trendy dataseless app for checking payment status by beneficiaries.
  • Call the SASSA help desk on 0800 60 10 11 for help.
  • If you normally collect your grant through a SASSA card, check out your nearest pay point or ATM. 

Who Is Entitled To The Foster Child Grant?

Any child legally placed in foster care by way of a court order may be eligible to receive the Foster Child Grant of R1,250. In order to keep those payments running, the foster parent or guardian must offer the court documents verifying the placement of the child with their ID. Payments are made until the child is 18, unless an extension is granted in special circumstances.

What Beneficiaries Need To Know In September 2025

  • Payment dates usually vary, depending on one’s bank or pay point.
  • If beneficiaries are paid through bank transfers, they might get their money just a little bit earlier than those receiving payments at physical sites.
  • It is recommended to keep your personal details with SASSA updated to avoid any missed payments.
