June 2025 Double SASSA Grants – In a significant move to support millions of South Africans, the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) has announced that double SASSA grants will be paid out in June 2025.

Beneficiaries across all major grant categories, including Old Age Pensioners, SRD R370 recipients, child caregivers, and more, can now check the full payment schedule, updated payout dates, and newly published beneficiary list for June. The Department of Social Development has confirmed that no new applications are needed to receive this double payout, those who are already approved will get the bonus amount automatically. For those relying on this income to make ends meet, this update offers much-needed breathing room.
Why Double SASSA Grants Are Being Paid in June 2025
The double SASSA grant payment for June 2025 is part of a once-off government initiative aimed at easing financial hardship during South Africa’s mid-year economic dip. With food prices, transport costs, and utility bills rising, many grant recipients have been struggling to cope. This move, backed by the National Treasury and the Department of Social Development, ensures that families receive enough support to cover essential needs through the winter.
Here’s why the government introduced6 this initiative:
- Inflationary pressure is at its highest in over a year.
- Rising unemployment rates have left households more vulnerable.
- Recent electricity and transport fare hikes have added financial strain.
- Delays in payments in April and May in certain provinces prompted compensatory measures.
- The winter season traditionally sees a rise in food, fuel, and health expenses.
This relief effort is expected to benefit more than 17 million South Africans, including children, the elderly, persons with disabilities, and unemployed citizens.
