2026/2027 SASSA payment dates

Payment planning starts by separating permanent social-grant dates from SRD R370 payment timing. Older Persons, Disability and Children’s grants follow published monthly dates, while SRD payments are confirmed per successful month on the beneficiary record.

Key reminder: a friend's payment date is not your payment date. Always read the month and payment field attached to your own record.

How to use the schedule correctly

Check the correct grant type first, allow normal banking time, and review any extra message such as review, verification or banking issues before assuming the standard monthly date applies.
