SASSA gives money to South Africans who need help through different grants. These include support for children, disabled people and the elderly. The grants help people buy food and medicine. They also help with basic bills. This support is very important now because prices keep going up. Starting November 2025, there will be new payment amounts for old age grants and disability grants. The Social Relief of Distress grant will also change. These new payments will start on November 2, 2025.

Province-Wise Payment Differences Explained
Limpopo and Eastern Cape have different payment dates than other provinces. These areas are mostly rural and have fewer places to collect money. This means people need to wait longer because there aren’t many payment points or banks around. Cities like Gauteng and Western Cape have better banking systems so they can pay people earlier. Here are the payment start dates: Gauteng:
– You can get money from banks and ATMs from November 2
– Eastern Cape: Special payment trucks and rural points start giving money on November 3
– Northern Cape: CashSend and store payments begin on November 2
You should check when your province pays out to avoid waiting in long lines.
Biometrics Verification Guidelines for Grant
SASSA will start using fingerprints & biometric checks for all payments starting November 2025. This will help stop fraud. All people who get SASSA grants need to update their fingerprints & personal details. They can do this at SASSA offices or special payment points. If people don’t update their details SASSA might stop their payments. SASSA also wants people to use ATMs and stores like Shoprite and Pick n Pay to get their money. This makes payments faster and better for everyone.
