Payment Schedule for September 2025:
- 2 September 2025 – Older Persons Grants
- 3 September 2025 – Disability Grants
- 4 September 2025 – All other remaining grants, including Child Support and Foster Child Grants
By staggering payments, SASSA aims to reduce long queues at ATMs, post offices, and retail payout points.
How To Check Your Payment Status
Prior to receiving their payments, beneficiaries should verify the date on which the payments shall be made in order to avoid being inconvenience at the payment centre. One may do this by:
- Online Portal: Go to the official SASSA website and sign in using your ID Number.
- Moya App: It is free to download and data free for checking SASSA status.
- USSD Service: Use `*120*3210#` or `*120*69277#` from your phone.
- WhatsApp: Send a message to 082 046 8553 and follow the instructions.
Payment Tips To Remember
SASSA advises recipients not to rush to the collection points on the first day, as the funds remain there until they are withdrawn. This means there is no danger of your money being lost should you decide to collect further down in the month. Those holding SASSA cards can withdraw cash at ATMs, chosen supermarkets, and Postbank branches. If you have bank accounts, you will be paid directly into them, which is usually faster and safer.
Why You Should Double-Check Your Details
Delays may occur, and payments could be missed if inaccurate and late personal data or banking details are provided. Thus, an urgent call is given by SASSA for all beneficiaries to update their information through official channels only. If your grant is delayed or stopped suddenly, call SASSA immediately on 0800 60 10 11 or visit any nearest office while carrying your ID.
