While the exact dates for 2026 and 2027 will be officially confirmed closer to the time, they are expected to follow the same structured pattern as in previous years. Generally, Older Persons’ Grants are paid first, followed by Disability Grants, and then Children’s Grants, along with all other remaining social grants.

If any of these dates fell on a weekend or public holiday, payments were made on the last working day before the scheduled date. Beneficiaries can receive their funds through various channels, including direct bank deposits, the SASSA card, or cash collection at participating retailers such as Shoprite, Boxer, Pick n Pay, and Checkers.
