Find the most accurate and updated SASSA payment dates for all social grants in South Africa. We update this page monthly to help you plan ahead and avoid long queues.
Important: Payments do not all happen on the same day. Each grant category has its own schedule to help reduce overcrowding at pay points.
November 2025 SASSA Payment Dates
🧓 Older Persons Grants: 04 November
♿ Disability Grants: 05 November
👶 Children Support Grants: 06 November
📢 SASSA SRD Grants (AKA R370 Grant): Unlike with other SASSA grants, the Social Relief of Distress Grant follows a different payment schedule for beneficiaries. Beneficiaries need to do a SASSA SRD Status Check to find out their payment date.
Always keep your SASSA card and PIN safe and never accept help from strangers.
📅 Monthly Payment Order
SASSA follows the same pattern every month:
- Older Persons Grant
- Disability Grant (next day)
- Children’s Grants (following day)
SRD R370 payments follow a separate schedule based on bank verification.
