SASSA Payment Dates 2025 : In a formal notice, the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) has outlined the payment dates for September and October 2025, offering critical insight to the multitudes of grant recipients who rely on the payout. These payments encompass grants to older persons, persons with disabilities, child support, as well as the Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grants.
As the cost of living increases, many South Africans are wondering when their money will be accessible. Below is the complete schedule and the steps to take to prevent your grant from being delayed.
SASSA Payment Dates For September 2025
The payment cycle for September is set to begin in the first week of the month:
- Older Persons Grant : Tuesday, 2 September 2025
- Disability Grant : Wednesday, 3 September 2025
- Child Support and All Other Grants: Thursday, 4 September 2025
It is important for beneficiaries to understand that the funds remain in their accounts securely after being deposited. There is no need for a hasty visit to the collection points on day one.
SASSA Payout Dates For October 2025
To aid smooth planning for recipients, the same order of benefits payments will be observed in October 2025:
- Older Persons Grant : Thursday, 2 October 2025.
- Disability Grant : Friday, 3 October 2025.
- Child Support and Other Grants: Monday, 6 October 2025.
SASSA has indicated that the R370 SRD grant payments will not adhere to the schedule above. Rather, SRD recipients will be notified to check their status via the official SASSA website or SASSA WhatsApp line since payments will be made in batches during the month.
Key Notes For Recipients
- Ensure proper access points : Grants can be withdrawn from ATMs, Postbank, and retail partners such as Shoprite, Boxer, Pick n Pay, and Spar.
- Do not hurry to the outlet : Withdrawals are stored in your account and do not expire, so there is no advantage in queuing on the first day.
- Biometric verification : Some recipients might be subject to biometric checks prior to cash access. Confirm that your information with SASSA is current.
