Waiting for your SASSA grant in July 2025? The official payment dates are now confirmed. Here’s when your money will reflect, based on your grant type, no delays, just facts.
Confirmed SASSA Payment Dates for July 2025
The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) has officially released the grant payment schedule for July 2025. These dates apply across the country and are structured to avoid overcrowding at ATMs and retail paypoints.
Here is the full breakdown of when different grants will be paid:
1. Older Person’s Grant
- Payment Date: Wednesday, 02 July 2025
- Includes: Any additional grants linked to the older person’s account (such as a spouse or caretaker’s support)
This is the first grant to be paid in the month. If you or someone in your household receives an older person’s grant, expect the funds to reflect in your account starting from the morning of 2 July 2025. Many people who rely on these grants are pensioners, and SASSA prioritises them to ensure early access.
2. Disability Grant
- Payment Date: Thursday, 03 July 2025
- Includes: Linked grants paid to the same account
If you’re receiving the disability grant, your funds will be available a day after the older person’s grant. This applies whether the grant is temporary or permanent. If the account is linked to more than one beneficiary, all relevant grants will reflect together.
3. Children’s Grant
- Payment Date: Friday, 04 July 2025
- Includes: Child Support Grant, Foster Child Grant, and Care Dependency Grant
All grants related to children will be paid on 04 July 2025, which is the final grant payment day for the month. Whether you receive a child support grant for one child or multiple, the funds will be available from early Friday morning.
Important Note About SASSA Payments
SASSA continues to urge beneficiaries not to rush to withdraw cash on the first day. The money will remain safe in your account until you need it. You don’t have to stand in long queues if it’s not urgent. This also helps reduce crowding at ATMs, supermarkets, and post offices making the system safer and more efficient for everyone.
How SASSA Payments Work?
All SASSA grants are paid through electronic deposit directly into the bank account linked to your ID number. If you’re using a SASSA gold card, your payment will reflect in that account. Funds are usually available from 6 AM on the scheduled day, but this can vary slightly depending on your bank.
You can collect your grant from:
- Retail stores like Pick n Pay, Shoprite, Boxer, Usave, and Checkers
- ATMs using your SASSA card
- Mobile money if you opted for a different payout method
Make sure your banking details are correct and unchanged, especially if you’ve recently updated your payment method. Mistakes or old information can delay your payout.
