South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) has officially released the SASSA grants payment dates for September 2025. Beneficiaries of Older Person’s, Disability, and Children’s grants can now prepare in advance to collect their funds on the scheduled dates. This helps reduce unnecessary long queues and ensures that payments are made in an orderly manner.
SASSA Grants Payment Schedule – September 2025
Here are the confirmed SASSA grant payment dates for September 2025:
- Older Person’s Grants: from Tuesday, 02 September 2025
- Disability Grants: from Wednesday, 03 September 2025
- Children’s Grants: from Thursday, 04 September 2025
Once these dates are reached, the money will remain available in beneficiaries’ accounts. There is no need to rush on the first day of payment, as funds will not expire or be withdrawn automatically.
Important Changes to Note from September 2025
SASSA has announced some key updates starting this month:
- Beneficiary Biometric Enrolment
- From 1 September 2025, all beneficiaries must complete mandatory biometric enrolment at local SASSA offices when applying.
- This step is being introduced to improve security, prevent fraud, and ensure grants are received only by the rightful recipients.
- SASSA and Postbank Relationship
- SASSA has assured all beneficiaries that recent changes in its relationship with Postbank will not affect the payment of grants.
- Beneficiaries can continue using their usual payment methods without disruption.
How to Collect Your SASSA Grant
Beneficiaries can access their SASSA grant payments in different ways:
- Directly from ATMs using the SASSA Gold Card.
- Retail stores such as Shoprite, Boxer, Pick n Pay, Checkers, and Usave.
- Post Office branches (for those still making use of this option).
For convenience and safety, it is recommended to withdraw cash on a day that is less busy or use card payments at shops to avoid carrying large amounts of money.
Tips for Beneficiaries
- Do not rush to collect grants on the first day; funds will remain in your account until withdrawn.
- Complete your biometric enrolment as soon as possible to avoid issues with future payments.
- Always carry your SASSA Gold Card and valid identification when collecting your grant.
- Report any suspected fraud or suspicious activities immediately to SASSA.
Conclusion
The SASSA grants payment dates for September 2025 have been confirmed, and beneficiaries are urged to take note of the schedule. With biometric enrolment now mandatory, it is important to stay updated with SASSA requirements to avoid disruptions.
SASSA continues to ensure that payments are made securely, fairly, and on time — paying the right social grant, to the right person, at the right time and place.
