South Africa’s Festive SASSA Grant Schedule Announced – Full December 2025 Payment Dates Beneficiaries Must Note

SASSA Final Grant Payments for 2025 As the festive season approaches the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) is preparing to make its final grant payments of 2025. This brings much-needed relief to millions of South Africans who depend on social grants. The December payment cycle represents the last distribution of the year. Recipients across the country will receive their funds according to the standard payment schedule.

Social Security payments will arrive on schedule across all benefit types so recipients can get ready for the holiday season without financial stress. The Social Security Administration follows a set payment calendar that depends on the type of benefit and when someone started receiving it. Regular monthly payments go out based on birth dates while supplemental payments follow their own timeline.
