SASSA has adjusted the payout dates for various grants for August and September 2025 amid efforts to improve service delivery. For August 2025, the scheduled payment dates are:
Older Persons Grant: August 5, 2025
Disability Grant: August 6, 2025
Children’s Grants: August 7, 2025
The Social Relief of Distress (SRD) R370 grant payments will be processed during a payment window from August 25 to August 29, 2025, rather than a fixed date. Beneficiaries should check their specific payout date online.
For September 2025, according to updates, payout dates continue the pattern of starting early in the month:
Older Persons Grant: September 5, 2025
Disability Grant: September 6, 2025
(detail for other grants in September is consistent with these dates).
These changes aim to streamline the payment process, reduce congestion at payment points, and enhance operational efficiency, ensuring beneficiaries have timely access to their funds. Beneficiaries are strongly advised to verify their specific payout date through the official SASSA status check or SRD status portals to avoid inconvenience, especially for the SRD grant, which does not have a fixed date but a payment window.
Overall, SASSA has moved permanent grants payouts to early month dates (the 5th to 7th) while the SRD grant payouts occur in the last week of the month, reflecting a more structured payout system
