The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) administers multiple social grants, each with a designated payment day within the month. Staying informed about these dates ensures smooth financial planning and avoids unnecessary stress or delays. In 2025, SASSA followed a predictable pattern: older persons, disability, and children's (including other child-related grants) are paid in early August, while the SRD (R370) grant is dispersed during the final week of the month.
