SASSA Payment Dates For September 2025
SASSA typically announces new payment schedules in late August. While specific dates aren’t confirmed yet, September payouts are expected around the same early-month window:
- Older Persons’ Grant: 4th of September
- Disability: 5th September
- All Other Grants: 6th September
These dates are announced and scheduled for September srd payouts from 26-30 September to receive.
Why SASSA Uses a Staggered Schedule
- Minimize crowding: By spreading payments over multiple days, long queues and rushes are significantly reduced.
- Ensure smooth ATM operations: Each grant type draws from different payment pools, making the process more manageable.
- Help beneficiaries plan better: Knowing exactly when your grant is paid avoids confusion and travel during busy periods.
What Could Delay Your Payment?
Even when dates are released, some individuals may experience delays. Possible reasons include:
- Review status: If you’ve been flagged for grant review, payment may be withheld until your documents or eligibility are verified.
- Banking issues: Expired ATM cards or inactive bank accounts can block payouts. Ensure your account is active and linked correctly.
- Communication problems: SASSA sends reminders via SMS, but outdated contact information can lead to missed notices and payment delays.
Prompt attention to these issues can help you stay ahead of any disruptions.

What To Do If You’re Scheduled for Review
If SASSA requested a review of your grant:
- Visit your nearest SASSA office promptly. Bring all required documents (ID, bank statements, income proof, child or disability documentation).
- Ensure your contact number, email, and banking details are accurate.
- Consider appointing someone as a power of attorney (procurator) if you’re unable to attend in person.
- Once cleared, your grant should be paid in the next available cycle- even if it’s a bit later.
Protect Yourself Against Scams
Be cautious- scammers often exploit grant recipients, especially during review periods:
- SASSA never charges fees or uses third-party agents.
- Ignore calls or messages that demand payments to resolve your grant.
- Verify all communications through official SASSA channels.
- Any suspicious contact should be reported immediately.
These steps help protect you from fraud and keep your grant safe.
