Sassa has officially announced the November 2025 social grant payment dates, bringing much-needed certainty to over 19 million South African beneficiaries. This week marks the start of payouts, so it's crucial to stay informed.
Important Dates:
- Older Persons Grant: November 4, 2025
- Disability Grant: November 5, 2025
- Children's Grants (Child Support, Foster Child, Care Dependency): November 6, 2025
Sassa is strongly urging all beneficiaries to urgently check and update their personal and banking details to ensure seamless access to their funds. This is particularly important ahead of the busy holiday season where delays could cause significant hardship. Make sure your information is accurate to avoid any payment issues.
How to Receive Your Grant
You have several options for receiving your grant:
- Direct Bank Deposit: Money will be deposited directly into your bank account on the specified dates. Sassa recommends this as the safest and fastest method.
- Cash Collection: You can collect your grant in cash at major retailers like Pick n Pay, Shoprite, Checkers, and Boxer, as well as official Sassa pay points.
The R370 Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant is paid separately, typically between November 25 and 30.
Important Reminders from Sassa
Sassa emphasizes that funds will remain in your account until withdrawn, so there is no need to rush to collect your grant on the first day. However, they also strongly advise beneficiaries to never share their PINs or card details with anyone.
