BySASSA

As September approaches, many South Africans are preparing to receive their SASSA (South African Social Security Agency) grants. Whether you rely on the Older Person’s Grant, Child Support Grant, or the SRD R370 grant, knowing your exact payment dates and what to expect this month is essential. This guide will walk you through the SASSA September payment schedule, how to access your funds, and what to do if delays occur, all in a clear, supportive format.

SASSA Payment Dates for September 2025

SASSA has officially released the payment schedule for September 2025. These dates apply to beneficiaries who receive payments via direct bank deposit, SASSA gold card, or at Post Office payout points.

Here are the confirmed grant payment dates:

  • Older Persons Grant: Tuesday, 2 September 2025
    (Includes any linked grants such as a spouse or dependent)

  • Disability Grant: Wednesday, 3 September 2025
    (Also includes linked grants where applicable)

  • Children’s Grants and All Remaining Grants: Thursday, 4 September 2025
    (This includes Child Support, Foster Child, and Care Dependency Grants)

Important Note: These dates are for general SASSA social grants, not the SRD R370 grant. SRD grants follow a different processing timeline, discussed below.

When Will the SRD R370 Grant Be Paid in September?

Unlike traditional grants, the Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant, currently set at R370 per month as of April 2025, does not have fixed payment dates. Instead, payments are made in batches based on application verification, bank account validation, and clearance by National Treasury.

For September 2025, here’s what you need to know:

  • Payment processing typically begins between 23–29 September 2025

  • You’ll receive an SMS or bank notification when your payment clears

  • You can check your payment status by visiting https://srd.sassa.gov.za

If your status says “Approved” with a payment date, your funds will reflect in your account within 2–3 business days.

What to Do If You Haven’t Received Your Grant

Sometimes delays happen, whether due to bank verification issues, incorrect contact details, or high processing volumes. If you haven’t received your grant by the end of the month:

Step-by-Step:

  1. Double-check your banking information on the SRD site or nearest SASSA office.

  2. Ensure your phone number is active, especially for OTPs and notifications.

  3. Contact SASSA directly:

  4. Reapply or update details if your application shows as “Declined” or “Pending” for an extended period.

Tip: SRD recipients must reconfirm their eligibility every three months via the online portal.

Staying updated on your SASSA payment dates for September 2025 is essential for better planning and avoiding unexpected delays. Whether the grant supports you, your child, or an elderly family member, being informed ensures hassle-free access to your funds, especially with the recent SASSA Grant Increase helping beneficiaries manage their expenses more effectively.
