SASSA Grant Payment Dates Change 2025 : The payment dates for September 2025 have been changed by SASSA. This change is intended to help streamline grant payments so that long queues and other inconveniences to the beneficiaries will be avoided.
New September 2025 Payment Schedule
Grant payment schedule as amended for the month of September 2025 is as follows:
- Old Age Grant: Tuesday, 2 September 2025
- Disability Grant: Wednesday, 3 September 2025
- All Other Grants: Thursday, 4 September 2025 (This includes Child Support, Foster Child, Care Dependency).
Even on the first day of pay dates, beneficiaries are still able to draw from their account money after that day.
Why The Payment Date Change Is Good News
Changing the dates helps reduce congestion at ATMs, pay points, and retail outlets. Staggering of dates makes it convenient for grant beneficiaries to collect their money safely and orderly. This is important for older beneficiaries and any disabled persons who may be unable to stand for long periods in queues.
Who Will Receive The Payment And What To Do
If you already are an approved beneficiary, your payment will automatically go through on the new date. To avoid any delays in receiving your money:
- Check your banking details – Ensure that SASSA has your correct account number.
- Know your payment date – Do not travel unnecessarily before your actual day.
- Stay informed – Keep an eye out for any further updates from SASSA.
If your payment is delayed or you notice any issues, contact SASSA directly through their official helpline or visit your nearest office.
Tips For A Smooth Collection
- Avoid the busy hours, so collect your grants later in the day or in the coming days.
- Card payments – Use your SASSA card to pay for goods directly; do not take out all your money.
- Stay vigilant – Be aware of scams and always consider only official SASSA sources.
