September and October 2025 SASSA Payment Dates Confirmed
The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) has officially confirmed the payment schedule for September and October 2025, ensuring all beneficiaries know when to expect their grants. Understanding these dates is crucial for beneficiaries planning their finances for the upcoming months.
September 2025 SASSA Payment Dates
For beneficiaries receiving grants in September, the payment dates are as follows:
- Old Age Grant: Tuesday, 2 September 2025
- Disability Grant: Wednesday, 3 September 2025
- Child and Other Grants: Thursday, 4 September 2025
To prevent overcrowding and reduce the risk of theft, SASSA encourages beneficiaries not to rush for withdrawals on the first day. Instead, beneficiaries are advised to gradually withdraw funds or consider using the SASSA card for direct payments on goods and services.
October 2025 SASSA Payment Dates
The payment dates for October 2025 have also been confirmed:
- Old Age Grants: Thursday, 2 October 2025
- Disability Grants: Friday, 3 October 2025
- Children’s Grants: Monday, 6 October 2025
In a positive development, all grant amounts will see an increase of R10 starting from October. According to The Citizen, this increase aligns with the government’s commitment to supporting vulnerable communities. For example, the Old Age Grant will rise from R2,310 to R2,320, and the Disability Grant will see the same increase.
Checking for Updates and Assistance
SASSA payments are typically disbursed during the first week of each month. However, dates may adjust if weekends or public holidays occur. Beneficiaries should frequently check official SASSA channels for any updates or changes. These channels include the SASSA website, social media accounts, SMS, WhatsApp notifications, and the toll-free helpline (0800 60 10 11).
