SASSA July 2025 Payment Dates

SASSA uses a structured monthly schedule to disburse payments, prioritizing older persons first. For July 2025, the following official dates apply:

• Older Persons Grant: Paid on Tuesday, 1 July 2025

• Disability Grant: Paid on Wednesday, 2 July 2025

• Children’s Grants & Other Grants: Paid on Thursday, 3 July 2025

Note: These dates are for bank transfers, Postbank card payments, and other retail options such as Shoprite, Pick n Pay, Boxer, and Checkers. Funds are generally available on the same day for ATM withdrawals or retail purchases.

How You’ll Receive Your Grant

You can access your SASSA funds in multiple ways, depending on the payment method you’ve selected during registration or updated afterward:

Available Payment Methods:

• Bank Transfer (into your personal account)

• SASSA Gold/Postbank Card (usable at ATMs and stores)

• Retail Cash Payment Points (Shoprite, Boxer, Checkers, Pick n Pay, Usave)

Tip: If you receive your grant via Postbank/SASSA Gold card, you do not need to withdraw all your money at once. The card functions like a debit card, you can withdraw only what you need and use the rest later.

What to Do If Your Payment is Delayed

Delays are rare but can happen due to incorrect bank details, system errors, or identity verification issues. Here’s how to handle a payment delay:

Step-by-Step:

1. Check Your Status Online: Visit https://srd.sassa.gov.za and input your ID and phone number to view your payment status.

2. Verify Banking Details: Ensure your banking details are correct and match your ID number. If they don’t, your payment will be held until corrected.

3. Contact SASSA: Call the toll-free line at 0800 60 10 11 for help or visit your nearest SASSA office.

4. Avoid Third-Party Scams: Never share your ID number or OTP with anyone claiming to “help you get paid faster.”
