The South African Social Security Agency (Sassa) plays a critical role in providing social security to vulnerable people living in South Africa. Many of this support is delivered to beneficiaries on specific days.
Sassa distributes over 18 million permanent grant payments, including 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.
This is in addition to millions of other people who receive Social Relief of Distress Grant payments.
The date on which you can expect your Sassa grant payment depends on the type of grant you receive.
How To Find Your Sassa Grants Payment Dates
To ensure you have the most accurate and up-to-date information, always refer to Sassa’s official communication channels. This includes their official website or Sassa’s verified Facebook and X (formally Twitter) accounts for accurate updates.
Sources like the Careers Portal and Skills Portal also post the latest updated Sassa grant payment dates as soon as they become available.
Beneficiaries of the SRD grant can also conduct a Sassa status check to get their exact SRD grant payment date.
How Sassa Grant Dates Are Determined
Sassa’s grant payment policy for permanent Sassa is to pay grant beneficiaries from the second day of each month. This may be adjusted to accommodate weekends and public holidays when Sassa does not pay social grants.
The grant payment agency distributes SRD grant payments during the final weeks of the month.
