Here are the officially published SASSA social grant payment dates for the 2025/2026 financial year (April 2025 to March 2026). These dates apply to Older Persons, Disability and Children’s grants; SRD R370 is paid later in each month over a payment window.

How the schedule works

SASSA pays social grants at the start of each month in a fixed order:

SRD R370 grant timing

The SRD R370 grant is not paid on the same three early‑month dates. Instead, it is usually paid later in the month over a 3–5 day “payment window” (for example, 27–30 of the month), and each beneficiary’s exact pay date is shown when checking SRD status online.​

Important reminders

• Money stays in your account: there is no need to withdraw on the exact pay date; funds remain available after they are deposited.​

• Linked grants (such as Grant‑in‑Aid) are paid on the same day as the primary grant (Older Persons or Disability).​

• Always double‑check close to the time on official SASSA channels in case of changes due to public holidays or system issues.​
