The South African Social Security Agency (Sassa) has officially unveiled the grant payment schedule for July 2025, providing much-needed clarity for millions of beneficiaries across the nation. 

According to Sassa’s official communication, payments for older person’s grants will commence on Wednesday, July 2, 2025. This date will also encompass any grants linked to these accounts, providing a much-appreciated lifeline for many elderly recipients. Following this, disability grants are set to be distributed on Thursday, July 3, 2025, with children’s grants scheduled for Friday, July 4, 2025.

Addressing common concerns about the process, Sassa reassured beneficiaries: “There is no need to rush to withdraw cash on the first day. Once the money is in the account, it will remain there until it is needed.”

This statement aims to alleviate anxieties surrounding immediate withdrawals, as crowds at pay points and ATMs often lead to safety concerns and inconveniences. By encouraging recipients to be patient, Sassa hopes to foster a safer and more organised collection process for all involved.

Beneficiaries seeking details about their specific payment dates are urged to visit the SRD website, where they can confirm when funds will reflect in their bank accounts.
