The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) has officially released the payment schedule for all social grants for September 2025. This schedule will assist millions of South Africans who depend on monthly financial support to plan their finances and know exactly when their money will be available.
SASSA is responsible for administering and paying social grants to eligible individuals. These grants provide crucial support to vulnerable groups, including older persons, people living with disabilities, children in need, and those facing financial hardships. By announcing payment dates in advance, SASSA allows beneficiaries to prepare ahead of time, reducing stress and avoiding unnecessary trips to pay points.
SASSA Payment Dates for September 2025
The payment schedule is structured to reduce crowding at payment points and retail outlets. Each grant type is usually paid on a separate day, although some grants are grouped together. Beneficiaries who receive their funds via bank transfer can expect the money to be deposited on the listed dates, though it may take a few days to reflect in their accounts depending on the bank.
| Grant Type | Payment Date | Day of the Week |
|---|---|---|
| Older Persons Grant / War Veterans Grant | 5 September 2025 | Friday |
| Disability Grant / Care Dependency Grant | 6 September 2025 | Saturday |
| Children’s Grants (Child Support / Foster Child Grant) | 8 September 2025 | Monday |
| SRD R370 Grant | 26–30 September 2025 | Thursday to Monday |
Key Points for Beneficiaries
- Payments start on the scheduled dates, but it may take up to three working days for funds to reflect in your bank account.
- The War Veterans Grant is paid on the same day as the Older Persons Grant.
- The Care Dependency Grant is paid together with the Disability Grant.
- The Foster Child Grant and Child Support Grant are paid together under the Children’s Grants category.
- Funds remain in your account until you choose to withdraw them, so there is no rush to collect money immediately.
