The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) provides millions of South Africans with essential financial support through various social grants, including the Older Persons’ Grant, Disability Grant, and Child Support Grant. Staying informed about the SASSA payment dates for 2026-2027 is crucial to ensure that beneficiaries receive their monthly payments on time and without delays.

SASSA releases the grant payment schedule for the upcoming year in advance, allowing recipients to plan. 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.

The 2025 schedule followed this sequence each month: Older Persons’ Grants on the 2nd, Disability Grants on the 3rd, and Children’s Grants on the 4th. 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.
