The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) has officially released the payment dates for September 2025. These dates apply to all beneficiaries of the Old Age Grant, Disability Grant, and Child Support Grant.
This schedule ensures that payments are made on specific days to avoid overcrowding at pay points and to give priority to different groups of beneficiaries.
SASSA Grant Payment Dates – September 2025
- Old Age Grant: Tuesday, 2 September 2025
- Disability Grant: Wednesday, 3 September 2025
- Child Support Grant: Thursday, 4 September 2025
Important Notes for Beneficiaries
- Once your payment has been made, the money will remain in your account until you choose to withdraw it – there’s no need to rush to collect it on the payment date.
- You can access your funds from ATMs, retail stores, and Postbank/SASSA cards.
- Always keep your SASSA card and PIN safe to avoid fraud.
How SASSA Payment Dates Are Scheduled
SASSA structures its payment dates in a way that:
- Old Age Grants are paid first to prioritise the elderly.
- Disability Grants follow the next day.
- Child Support and all other grants are paid last.
This staggered payment system reduces queues and ensures that beneficiaries are served more efficiently.
