Frequently Asked Questions
When does SASSA pay the SRD R370 grant each month?
The SRD R370 grant is paid in batches during the last week of each month. Beneficiaries are not all paid on the same day — check your personal 'Pay Day' date on the official SRD portal (srd.sassa.gov.za).
When are the permanent SASSA grants paid?
Permanent grants — the Older Persons, Disability, War Veterans and Children's grants — are paid in the first week of each month. The exact day depends on the grant type.
Are the dates on this calendar guaranteed?
Dates for months that are close are confirmed by SASSA; dates further out are projected based on SASSA's usual pattern and are marked 'projected'. Always confirm your personal date on the official SRD portal.
Why haven't I been paid even though the date has passed?
Allow 1 to 3 business days for the payment to reflect in your bank account after your Pay Day. If it still hasn't arrived and your status is 'Approved', contact the SASSA helpline on 0800 60 10 11.
