SASSA staggers payment dates by grant type across the first week of the month to ease pressure on pay points and bank systems — Older Persons and War Veterans grants go first, then Disability and Care Dependency, then children’s grants.
Funds are paid into your account by the scheduled date regardless — you don’t need to visit a pay point on the exact day, and there’s no need to queue early.
SRD payments are released in batches tied to each applicant’s ID number and processing date, spread across the back half of the month rather than a single date for everyone.
Yes — Older Persons, Disability and Care Dependency grants rose to R2,400, War Veterans to R2,420, Foster Child to R1,290, and Child Support/Grant-in-Aid to R580, effective April 2026.
