For millions of South Africans, SASSA grants provide vital support for daily expenses, from groceries to transport. Whether you rely on an old-age pension, disability grant, or child support, knowing exactly when and how you’ll be paid is crucial.

For June 2025, SASSA has released its official payment schedule, ensuring beneficiaries can prepare accordingly.

Schedule

SASSA has structured the June 2025 payment dates across three days. This helps reduce congestion, prevent delays, and manage crowds at ATMs and pay points.



Grant TypePayment Date
Older Persons Grant3 June 2025
Disability Grant4 June 2025
Children’s & Other Grants5 June 2025

Funds are distributed through multiple channels, including bank deposits, SASSA/Postbank cards, and selected retail stores such as Boxer, Pick n Pay, Shoprite, and Checkers. Most payments reflect early in the morning, but timing may differ slightly depending on the location and channel.

Preparation

To avoid hiccups on your payment day, make sure your personal info is accurate and your documentation is valid. Common problems like expired SASSA cards or incorrect banking info can delay your payment unnecessarily.



Here’s a quick checklist:

  • Renew expired cards: Go to your nearest Post Office or SASSA branch.
  • Update bank details: If your account has changed or closed, notify SASSA immediately.
  • Track your grant: If you applied recently, confirm your status online or via the SASSA helpline.

Taking these steps early helps avoid payment issues and saves time.

Safety

Crowds, long queues, and technical delays can make collection stressful. SASSA suggests a few smart tips to make it easier and safer:



  • Avoid peak hours: Collect your grant a day or two after the release date.
  • Use retail partners: Stores like Pick n Pay and Shoprite are usually less congested than banks.
  • Stay alert: Be cautious at ATMs, and don’t accept help from strangers.

Planning ahead and using alternatives to traditional banks can make a big difference in how smoothly your grant collection goes.
