For child support and grant-in-aid recipients, each will receive R580. Those relying on the Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant will receive R370.

What to do if your payment does not arrive

SASSA advises beneficiaries to keep their bank details current and active ahead of each payment cycle. If a scheduled date lands on a weekend or public holiday, the agency moves the payout to the next available business day.

Anyone who has not received their funds within two to three business days of their expected date should contact SASSA directly on 0800 60 10 11 or visit their nearest SASSA office.

Beneficiaries are also encouraged to avoid collecting on the official payment day itself to sidestep long queues. Funds remain accessible after the stated date, so there is no urgency to collect immediately.

For ongoing updates, beneficiaries can visit the official SASSA website for the latest information on grants and payment schedules.
