SASSA has announced new payment dates for social grants in South Africa. The schedule includes payments for elderly people, children disabled persons and the SRD grant. These grants help people buy food and pay for medicine and transport costs. The money is very important for many South Africans who need support. I added some tips to make collecting the money easier. You can find the payment dates in the schedule below. This financial help makes a big difference in people’s daily lives.
SASSA Grant Disbursements for November 2025
SASSA has released the payment dates for November 2025 grants. The schedule is simple & easy to follow.
– People who get Disability Grants can collect their money on Wednesday November 3 2025.

SASSA will send SMS messages to tell people their exact payment dates. This payment system works better than before. People don’t need to wait in long lines at ATMs post offices or shops anymore. They can get their money when it suits them best. The money stays safe in their accounts until they need it. They can even wait a few days after the payment date to collect it. This makes the whole process safer & more convenient for everyone who gets grants.
