SASSA September 2025 Grant Payments – This is a welcome news for millions of South Africans, because with this early verification, the beneficiaries can plan ahead in order to access their money on time and not experience the suspense of unwarranted delays.
SASSA has formally announced the disbursement of the September 2025 grant payments from Tuesday, 2 September.

Who Gets Paid And When
SASSA pays in instalments in order to even out the payments and prevent a congestion of collection points:
- Older Persons Grant (Pensioners): Tuesday, 2 September 2025
- Disability Grant: Wednesday, 3 September 2025
- All Other Grants (Child Support, Foster Child, Care Dependency): Thursday, 4 September 2025
By distributing the payments throughout the days, SASSA makes it possible to cut down those queues and facilitate quick service on all fronts.

Why Checking Your Payment Date Matters
Knowing the actual pay date can be a huge timesaver and frustration. This way, you avoid going to the collection points too early and then waiting in long queues.
It also allows money management for essentials such as food, electricity bills, transport, and others.
If, however, you are unable to collect your payment on the exact date, it will stay in your account, ready for withdrawal whenever it is convenient for you.
Confirming Your Grant Status
You can do one of the following in order to confirm and verify your grant is accessible:
- Online: Use the SASSA check status service with your ID number.
- USSD: Dial
*134*7737#
and follow the instructions given. - WhatsApp: Send your ID number through SASSA’s WhatsApp number.
- In-Person: Go to the nearest SASSA office with your identification.
Keeping your details up to-date, especially your banking details, is the key to avoiding any delays.
Evading Ponzis And Postponements
More often than not, such fraud is discovered on the settlement of such grants.
Be reminded: SASSA does not ask for the PIN or the bank passwords. Report authorities if anyone is attempting to do so from you.
Additionally, search for your bank/collection information a week or even before the payable date.
