September Sassa grant payments start tomorrow
If your grant isn’t paid on the scheduled date, please visit your nearest Sassa office for assistance.
The South African Social Security Agency (Sassa) has confirmed the official payment schedule for September, with payments starting tomorrow.
Grant beneficiaries are urged to note the specific dates assigned to their respective grants to ensure a smooth, organised collection process at pay points, ATMs, and participating retailers.
According to the agency, the September 2026 grant payment dates are:
• Older persons’ grants are paid from September 2
• Disability grants will be paid from September 3
• Children’s grants will be paid from September 4
Sassa reminds all recipients that there is no need to rush to withdraw funds on the very first day.

Once the money is deposited into the account, it remains safe and available for collection at any time throughout the month.
In the event that a beneficiary does not receive their social grant on the designated day or experiences technical issues with their payout, they are advised to visit their local Sassa branch office directly or contact the agency’s official helpline for assistance.
