SASSA December 2025 Grant Schedule — Updated Payment Dates You Must Note
SASSA follows a specific order when paying out grants. The Older Persons Grant comes first. After that they process Disability Grants. Child Grants are paid last in the sequence. People who receive payments directly into their bank accounts can access their money right away when the payment cycle starts. Those who collect cash at retailers or payment points might wait a bit longer. This depends on how far away these locations are from main centers. SASSA wants beneficiaries to know that funds stay available on payment day and after. Recipients do not need to hurry or stand in long queues to get their money.
