SASSA Confirms Grant Payment Dates


ASSA has officially announced the dates that SASSA grants will be paid for the month of November 2024. SASSA grants assist various groups of vulnerable individuals with the newest grant being the R350 grant.


The SASSA grant payment dates for November 2024 have been released, just in time for the end of September and the beginning of November and SASSA Grant payment dates for 2024 - 2025 

The SASSA grant payment dates for November are:
  • Older persons – Tuesday, 5 November
  • Disability – Wednesday, 6 November
  • Child – Thursday, 7 November

Beneficiaries can receive their payments from certain supermarkets, including Pick n Pay, Checkers, and Shoprite, or they can have the amount directly transferred into their bank account. 

The agency reminds beneficiaries that they only need to draw some of the cash at a time or go to points where large numbers of people congregate.

Once the grant money is in your account, it will remain there, regardless of when it is accessed.

As for the Covid-19 Special Relief of Distress (SRD) grant, SASSA has said, “There is no fixed payment date for the special COVID-19 SRD grant”.

SASSA continued to explain:
Your application will be checked every month to verify whether you still qualify for the grant. If you do, you will be paid each month.

This means that you only need to submit one SRD grant application.

If you do a SASSA status check on your R350 grant application and it shows that it is approved with no pay date, it means payment has not been processed yet but will be.

SASSA continues to say, "There is no need to rush to withdraw cash on the first day. Once the money is in the account, it will remain there until it is needed".
