Who Gets Paid First in June 2025? Priority Beneficiaries Explained
In June 2025, SASSA will prioritize payments to the most vulnerable groups first. These include recipients of the Older Persons Grant, War Veterans Grant, and Care Dependency Grant. These beneficiaries will receive their funds on Tuesday, 4 June 2025, ahead of others. The reason for this early disbursement is to ensure elderly and medically dependent individuals have timely access to their funds, helping them manage essential needs like medication, food, and transport without unnecessary delays.
SASSA gives early access to certain vulnerable groups each month. For June 2025, those who will receive their grants first include:
- Individuals aged 60 years or older receiving the Older Persons Grant
- War veterans
- Beneficiaries receiving the Care Dependency Grant
The reason for prioritizing these groups is to help older and more vulnerable citizens avoid long queues and to receive their much-needed income in time for essential expenses such as medication, transport, and groceries.
People receiving disability grants, child support grants, foster care grants, and the SRD grant will receive their payments on subsequent dates as indicated.
