The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) informs its beneficiaries that Workers’ Day on May 1st will push the May 2025 grant payments to begin on May 3rd. The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) follows particular instructions while confirming that their payments will start one day after the public holiday on May 3rd. Older persons who receive disability grants are directly affected by this payment delay, which occurs on each month.
Revised May 2025 Payment Schedule
The official payment dates for different grant categories have been announced:
- Older Persons Grants: May 3rd (previously May 1st)
- Disability Grants: May 6th
- Child Support Grants: May 7th
SASSA officials execute regular payments on a holiday or Saturday when the scheduled date occurs during one of these days, according to their spokesperson. All grant beneficiaries need to know that their payments will become accessible right after the holidays end. SASSA tells its beneficiaries to check that their banking information stays accurate to avoid payment delays. The SASSA encourages beneficiaries to obtain their payments on the day following the regular schedule to reduce queuing at payment points. The agency states that Post Office collection services will operate on the same adjusted timetable without interrupting any service operations.
