SASSA on Date Changes for Pay Point Social Grant Payments 2024-2025

by

Payment Grant for May 2020 for Disability and Old Persons Social Grants are paid from the 3rd day of the month, while all other social grants are paid from the 6th of each month. This decision was made to address the challenges faced during the previous payment cycle, where early payment caused overcrowding and difficulties in maintaining social distancing.

Old Age Persons’s Pensions and Disability Grants are paid on the 3rd of each month, or the first working day after this date if it falls on a week-end or public holiday. For example, if the 3rd of May 2020 falls on a Sunday, the grants will be available from Monday. This staggered payment system aims to prioritize the needs of people with disabilities and the elderly. Read Also Sassa Status Check
