The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) has announced payment dates for July 2025, confirming that approved grant clients will be paid from June 26 to 30, 2025, with specific days for each beneficiary group. Older persons’ grants will be paid on July 2, disability grants on July 3, and children’s grants from July 4. SASSA urges beneficiaries not to rush to withdraw funds on the first day, reassuring recipients that money will remain safely in their accounts until needed. This approach aims to ease overcrowding at pay points and ATMs and promote safer, more convenient collections[1][2].

SASSA has recently implemented changes to the grant payment schedule for June to August 2025, offering a more structured disbursement system intended to reduce long queues and delays. The updated schedule allows beneficiaries to better plan their financial activities. For July 2025, old age pensions are processed on the first Tuesday (July 1), child support grants on the second Wednesday (July 9), and disability grants on the first Thursday (July 3)[3].

There have been warnings for beneficiaries to update their payment details by July 8, 2025, to prevent any delays or freezes in disbursement. Outdated or incorrect information can result in payment delays, and resolving these issues may take time if not updated promptly. Beneficiaries are advised to regularly monitor their bank statements, keep their information current, and use only official SASSA channels for updates to avoid disruptions in payments[4].

Grant recipients are also reminded to remain vigilant against scams and fraud, keeping SASSA cards and PINs secure and never sharing personal information with anyone. SASSA reiterates its commitment to paying the right social grant, to the right person, at the right time and place, and encourages all beneficiaries to stay patient and avoid crowding collection points[2].
