When Will Linked Grant Funds Arrive?
If you receive additional SASSA grant funds paid into the account of a parent, spouse, etc., those payments will follow the schedule of the primary recipient’s grant type.
For example:
- A caregiver’s Child Support Grant paid into their grandmother’s Older Person’s Grant account will be paid on the Older Person’s Grant date.
- A wife’s Disability Grant linked to her husband’s bank account will arrive on the Disability Grant date.
The primary account holder’s payment schedule determines when any linked grants will be disbursed.
Weekend and Public Holiday Payment Changes
If the standard payment date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or public holiday Monday, the funds will instead be paid on the preceding Friday to ensure access.
For example, if the Disability Grant date is a Sunday, payment will be made on Friday instead. This applies to all SASSA grant types.
Payment Order and Prioritization
Every month, SASSA structures its payment schedule by:
- Paying Older Person’s Grants first
- Following with Disability Grants the next day
- Disbursing all remaining grant types 2 days later
This method serves the elderly and disabled first each month.
Confirming Your Precise Payment Dates
While the SASSA payment schedule is consistent, you can verify your exact payment dates for upcoming months by:
- Checking the SASSA website
- Calling the SASSA helpline
- Visiting your local SASSA office
- Reviewing SASSA Facebook and Twitter posts
This provides easy access to the latest calendars.
Avoid Missed or Delayed SASSA Payments
To ensure you receive your grants accurately and on time every month:
- Confirm your details with SASSA – phone, address, ID, etc. – are up to date
- Know your grant type and associated payment date
- Notify SASSA immediately of any changes in your circumstances
- Follow up promptly if funds are ever late or missing
Actively maintaining your recipient profile helps prevent issues with your essential grant payments.
How to Check SASSA Dates on Your Phone?
You can also confirm upcoming SASSA payment dates on your mobile phone by dialing 134569*47268# to check the calendar.
Ways to Access Your SASSA Grant Funds
Once disbursed, your monthly grant funds can be accessed through:
- Any ATM using your SASSA card
- Pick n Pay, Boxer, Shoprite, and other retailer collection points
- Your designated bank account for direct deposit
To avoid long queues, try to collect several days after the payment date when crowds subside.
Tips to Stay Safe When Collecting Your Grant
When visiting pay points and ATMs to withdraw your funds, be sure to:
- Check your surroundings for suspicious people nearby
- Hide your card and cash securely as soon as received
- Review balances regularly and report any discrepancies
- Leave the ATM promptly after completing your transaction
- Never allow strangers to assist you with transactions
Exercising caution safeguards you and your SASSA grant money.
