Double SASSA Grants – In a significant announcement, the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) has confirmed double grant payments for millions of beneficiaries in June 2025. This comes as part of a special disbursement plan to provide relief to vulnerable households and streamline payment cycles. Beneficiaries of Older Persons, Disability, and Child Support Grants are all expected to benefit from the updated structure.
Let’s explore the updated SASSA grant amounts, official payment schedule, and all key details for June 2025.
Why Double SASSA Grants Are Being Paid in June 2025
The June 2025 SASSA double payment is a result of two major policy decisions:
- Adjustments in the disbursement cycle to avoid delays in future months
- Additional support in line with rising cost-of-living challenges
The Department of Social Development confirmed that qualifying beneficiaries will receive two payments in June:
- The regular monthly grant
- An advance payment meant for July, disbursed early due to system updates
Key beneficiaries include:
- Older Persons (Pensioners)
- Persons with Disabilities
- Child Support Grant recipients
- Foster Care and Care Dependency Grants
Important Notes:
- Only eligible beneficiaries verified in SASSA’s system will receive the double grant payout
- Payments will be made directly to bank accounts or Postbank/SAPO outlets

- Be an active, verified SASSA beneficiary
- Have no pending documentation or review cases
- Must not have received a duplicate or overpayment in prior months
- Banking details must be correct and updated in the SASSA system
