SASSA keeps a staggered schedule so beneficiaries collect money without rush or long queues. The rollout begins with Older Persons Grant on Tuesday, 2 September 2025, moves to the Disability Grant on Wednesday, 3 September 2025, and finishes with Child Support and other grants on Thursday, 4 September 2025. Money remains accessible after these dates, so no one needs to crowd pay points on day one.
Alongside the calendar, SASSA continues to emphasize safe access. Beneficiaries can draw funds via ATMs, retail outlets, or direct bank transfers, which spreads footfall and saves time. The agency also reminds households to report any irregular deductions quickly so every rand reaches the right person.

SRD Grant Timing update
The SRD (R370) continues to support unemployed citizens. For September 2025, SRD aligns with the normal monthly cycle.

How to Collect SASSA Grant Payments with less stress
A few simple habits improve safety and convenience:
- Avoid full withdrawals in one go if possible. Keeping part of the money in the account reduces risk when traveling home and helps with month-long budgeting.
- Use multiple access channels. ATMs, retail partners, and banks help spread queues; try different times of day if your area gets busy.
- Carry only what you need. Keep your card and ID safe; avoid sharing your PIN.
- Check your balance at home using secure channels before leaving for a collection point.
Stop Unauthorized Deductions
SASSA sets strict rules to protect beneficiaries:
- Only one deduction per month is allowed.
- The deduction cannot exceed 10% of the grant value.
- A deduction counts only with the beneficiary’s consent.
If a deduction appears without your approval, report it immediately through official channels. Have your ID number, grant type, and service provider name ready so the team can trace and fix the issue.
Why a Staggered Schedule Helps Everyone
A phased plan eases pressure on busy locations in cities and rural towns. By spreading deposits across 2–4 September, queues shorten, cash points turn faster, and seniors spend less time waiting. This approach also supports the more than 19 million monthly grants nationwide by keeping the system steady throughout the week.
Simple Month Plan for Beneficiaries
- Mark your date on the calendar and set a reminder.
- Prioritize essentials first: food, transport, electricity, school needs.
- Keep receipts for major purchases or services.
- Review your statement once a month to spot errors early.
- Store your card safely and never share your PIN.
