Now that we are at the end of the month of June, it's important to plan for the month of July. The South African Social Security Agency (Sassa) makes Sassa grant payments to over 18 million South Africans receiving permanent social grants.
Sassa is responsible for the payment of several different permanent grants aimed at assisting financially vulnerable people living in South Africa. These include the Older Persons pension grant, Disability grant, War Veterans grant, Care Dependency grant, Foster Child grant, Child Support grant, Child Support grant Top-Up and Grant-in-aid.
Sassa Grant Payment Dates For July
Sassa has confirmed that social grant payments are made from the second working day of each month. Sassa payment dates will however not be held on public holidays or weekends.
The Sassa grant payment schedule for July 2024 is as follows:
- Older Persons Grant - 2 July
- Disability Grant - 3 July

Sassa has said that there is no need to rush to withdraw the Sassa money on the first day because once the money is paid, it will remain in your bank account.
