Sassa Grant Dates 2026-2027

Sassa Grant Dates 2026-2027: SRD, Child Support, Disability & More:

The Sassa Grant Dates 2026-2027 are some of the most important updates for millions of South Africans who depend on monthly financial assistance from the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA). These payment dates ensure that beneficiaries of different grants, such as the Old Age Grant, Child Support Grant, Disability Grant, Foster Child Grant, Care Dependency Grant, War Veterans Grant, Grant-in-Aid, and the SRD R370 Grant, can plan ahead and manage their household budgets with ease.

Since grants are a lifeline for many families, knowing the exact dates helps to avoid confusion and ensures beneficiaries collect their money on time. SASSA usually staggers payments over a few days each month to reduce congestion at ATMs, post offices, and retail pay points. For example, older persons’ grants are paid first, followed by disability grants, and then child support and other grants.

The SRD R370 grant, which is a temporary relief grant for unemployed individuals, works a bit differently as it is approved and reviewed monthly, with beneficiaries needing to check their application status online, via WhatsApp, or through USSD codes. Beneficiaries need to keep track of the official SASSA payment schedule so they know when to expect their grant. Missing or misunderstanding payment dates can lead to unnecessary stress, long queues, and delays.
