Sassa confirms July 2025 grant payment dates and new rates
Sassa has announced the official payment dates for social grants for July 2025, along with updated monthly amounts for beneficiaries.
The South African Social Security Agency (Sassa) has released its confirmed payment schedule for July 2025, bringing clarity to millions of grant recipients across the country. Payments will once again be made in phases over three days to avoid overcrowding at pay points and ATMs.
According to Sassa, older persons’ grants will be paid first, on July 2, followed by disability grants on July 3, and finally, children’s grants on July 4. Any other grants linked to these accounts will be paid on the same day as the primary grant.
In a continued effort to improve the safety and experience of grant recipients, the agency has encouraged beneficiaries not to rush to withdraw funds on the first day of payment. “There is no need to rush to withdraw cash on the first day. Once the money is in the account, it will remain there until it is needed,” Sassa said in a statement.
In line with the revised 2025 national budget, Sassa has also adjusted the monthly amounts for all social grants. These increases are part of the government’s ongoing efforts to keep up with inflation and support vulnerable citizens.
Here’s what beneficiaries can expect to receive from July:
- Old Age Grant – R2 315
- War Veterans Grant – R2 335
- Disability Grant – R2 315
- Care Dependency Grant – R2 315
- Foster Child Grant – R1 250
- Child Support Grant – R560
- Grant-in-Aid – R560
Sassa has also issued a warning to recipients to remain vigilant against scams and fraud. Beneficiaries are advised to keep their Sassa cards and PINs secure and never share personal information with anyone.
