As July approaches, millions of South Africans who rely on the SASSA R370 SRD Grant can breathe a sigh of relief—July’s payment schedule has been officially confirmed.
Released in May 2025, this early announcement helps recipients better manage their budgets and avoid the usual end-of-month anxiety.
Whether you get your grant via bank deposit or cash collection, knowing your specific pay date is now as simple as checking your ID number.
Schedule
SASSA uses a weekly system based on the last three digits of your South African ID number to distribute the R370 grant.
This method reduces the chaos that would come with paying everyone at once, while also giving banking systems time to process each batch smoothly. Here’s how July’s schedule is mapped out:
| Week | ID Numbers Ending In | Payment Dates |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 000 – 199 | July 1 – July 4 |
| 2 | 200 – 399 | July 7 – July 11 |
| 3 | 400 – 599 | July 14 – July 18 |
| 4 | 600 – 799 | July 21 – July 25 |
| 5 | 800 – 999 | July 28 – July 31 |
The idea here is simple: keep things organized, reduce delays, and ensure everyone gets their money on time.
Options
You don’t need to queue up to get your grant. SASSA gives beneficiaries a few ways to receive their R370:
- Bank deposit: This is the fastest and safest option. Payments usually clear within 48 hours after your scheduled date.
- Mobile wallet: Suitable for those without a bank account.
- Retail partners: Stores like Pick n Pay, Boxer, and Shoprite offer collection points for those using voucher or SASSA card options.
Bank deposits are strongly recommended if you want speed and convenience. Just make sure your banking info is up to date.
Updates
Here’s a golden rule: keep your personal info current. If your phone number or bank account has changed recently, log into the SASSA SRD website and update it. Incorrect info could delay your payment or send it to the wrong place.
Tip: Always use official platforms. Scammers love preying on grant recipients with fake messages. If someone asks for your PIN or login details—run!
