An official social grants pay schedule for the month of September 2025 has been observed by SASSA so that social grant beneficiaries are paid systematically and well-organized. The staggered dates help avoid congestions at pay points and allow payments to proceed smoothly.
Payment Schedule For September 2025
Old Age Grants shall be paid on Tuesday, 2 September 2025.
- Disability Grants shall be paid on Wednesday, 3 September 2025.
- Child Support & All Other Grants (Foster Care, Care Dependency, SRD, etc.) shall be paid on Thursday, 4 September 2025.
SASSA stresses that the funds will remain accessible after the stated dates to allow for an uninterrupted withdrawal of cash on the part of beneficiaries. There can be no rushes to the pay points on the opening day of disbursement. Beneficiaries should withdraw cash gradually or even use their SASSA cards wherever possible to shop, to avoid forming excessively long queues and to minimize security risks.
Why Staggered Schedule Matters
This staggered schedule allows for several benefits:
- Reduces overcrowding at banks and retailers
- Enhances safety by minimizing large cash withdrawals
- Distributes customers over multiple days so that operations run smoothly
