SASSA Grant Payment Dates August 2025: SASSA has proclaimed the payments agenda for August 2025, imparting clarity to over 19 million beneficiaries. With payout dates clearly laid down, recipients can plan their withdrawals better and spare themselves from any undue stress.
August Grant Payment Calendar
Grants will be disbursed by SASSA during the first week of August:
- Older Persons’ Grant (age 60-74): Tuesday, 5 August 2025.
- Disability Grant and War Veterans Grant: Wednesday, 6 August 2025.
- Child Grants (Child Support, Foster Care, Care Dependency, Grant-in-Aid): Thursday, 7 August 2025.
An additional new fourth payment day has also been introduced, Friday, 8 August 2025, which will cater to profile verification review beneficiaries and ensure that those still under assessment are not unfairly excluded.
Safe And Flexible Payout Methods
Your grant payments are made by either of the following:
- Direct deposits to your registered bank account.
- Loaded to your SASSA card for ATM withdrawals.
- Cash payments through authorized venues such as post offices and designated retailers.
To prevent long queues and ensure safety, SASSA advises against withdrawing funds on the very first day. Your withdrawal rights will remain attached to funds until you decide to collect them.
What You Should Do
- Confirm your grant type and payday with the provided schedule above.
- Update your bank/SASSA card account details to ensure successful delivery, particularly if your information has changed.
- Plan to make withdrawals after one or two days to avoid peak crowds.
- If you’re under review, payments are expected on 08 August, so complete any required in-person verification options ASAP.
Why The New Fourth Date Matters
Monthly reviews aiming at combating fraud and updating beneficiary records have been employed by SASSA this year. In excess of 250,000 recipients have been held for income or ID verification. Therefore, while before payments were delayed, SASSA now allows review-down recipients to be paid on a fourth date, so as to ensure fairness without compromising oversight.
