The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) has officially announced the payment dates for social grants for January 2025.

Beneficiaries are encouraged to take note of these dates to ensure smooth and timely access to their funds.

Payment Schedule

• Older Persons Grant: Payments will commence on Friday, January 3, 2025, including any linked grants.
• Disability Grants: Payments are set to begin on Monday, January 6, 2025, also covering any linked grants.
• Children’s Grants: These grants will be paid from Tuesday, January 7, 2025.

For recipients of the Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant, payments will be processed from January 25 to January 31, 2025. Approved beneficiaries are urged to confirm their payment status and ensure that their banking details are accurate to facilitate timely disbursement.

SASSA status Check

To check your SASSA status, visit the official SASSA website or use their dedicated online platform. You will need to provide your ID number and, if applicable, other details like your cellphone number or application reference number. After entering the information, the system will display the status of your grant application or payment. Regularly checking your status helps ensure that you stay informed about the approval or any issues with your grant.

Important Notes for Beneficiaries

SASSA has emphasized the importance of beneficiaries adhering to the scheduled dates to avoid overcrowding at pay points and ATMs. The agency also reminds grant recipients of the following:

1. Bank Transfers: Payments will be deposited directly into beneficiaries’ bank accounts on the specified dates. Those who receive payments via their SASSA cards can also withdraw funds on these days.
2. Post Office Payments: While Post Office branches remain an option for grant collection, beneficiaries are encouraged to use alternative methods, such as bank withdrawals, to reduce wait times.
3. Verify Your Status: Beneficiaries are advised to check their grant status on the SASSA website or through the official channels to confirm approval and payment details.

SASSA’s Ongoing Support

SASSA continues to prioritize the welfare of its beneficiaries by providing clear communication and support. Individuals experiencing any issues with their grants can contact the SASSA toll-free number or visit their nearest office for assistance.

This announcement aims to streamline the grant payment process and ensure that all recipients can access their funds with ease and security.

For further updates or queries, beneficiaries are encouraged to monitor official SASSA channels and announcements.
