The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) has officially published the payment dates for all major grants, including the R350 SRD grant, Old Age Pension, Child Support, and Disability Grants. These dates are vital for beneficiaries who rely on this support to cover essential living expenses like food, transport, healthcare, and school fees. With increased demand and continued economic challenges, SASSA has urged all recipients to take note of their respective payment days and avoid crowding at ATMs and Post Offices. The agency has also reminded users that funds will reflect on different days depending on the bank used, especially for those using Capitec and Postbank, which have seen delays in recent months. While the grant amounts remain unchanged for July, beneficiaries are encouraged to keep their personal details updated, particularly bank account numbers and ID verifications, to avoid disruptions. The SASSA July 2025 payment plan aims to streamline the distribution of funds across provinces, with special attention to public holidays and weekend constraints. Beneficiaries are also advised to use the SASSA status check portal to confirm their payment status, banking verification, and approval. Here’s a detailed look at the full schedule and what you should know to ensure you receive your money without delay.
