SASSA Announces 1 May Holiday Payment Dates Ahead
The staggered payment schedule is designed to support vulnerable groups and improve the overall grant payment experience. Beneficiaries are urged to plan their withdrawals accordingly and take necessary precautions to ensure secure access to their funds.
SASSA has revealed the social grant payment dates for May 2025, with Older Person's Grants, Disability Grants, and Children's Grants having separate payment schedules to reduce overcrowding and support vulnerable groups.
The payment dates for the respective grants are Tuesday, 6 May 2025, for Older Person's Grants, Wednesday, 7 May 2025, for Disability Grants, and Thursday, 8 May 2025, for Children's Grants. This staggered approach aims to improve processing efficiency and reduce congestion at pay points.
Beneficiaries are encouraged not to rush to withdraw funds on the first day of payment, as the money will remain in their accounts until needed. They can access their grant funds through various channels, including SASSA Gold Card at ATMs, retail outlets, and SASSA-designated pay points.
SASSA advises beneficiaries to check their balance, avoid middlemen, and report any issues promptly. For inquiries, assistance, and grant-related updates, beneficiaries can contact SASSA through a toll-free number, website, Facebook page, or Twitter handle.
