Sassa Grant Payment Dates For April 2026

Sassa Grant Payment Dates for 2026 – Full Monthly Schedule:

April is an important month for many South Africans who rely on social grants to help cover their daily needs. The South African Social Security Agency (Sassa) has officially confirmed the payment dates for April 2026, giving beneficiaries the chance to prepare in advance. Knowing these dates is essential for managing expenses, especially when grants are a main source of income for households.

Sassa uses a structured three-day payment system every month to ensure the process runs smoothly and to avoid overcrowding at pay points. Payments are always made in the same order. The first day is dedicated to older persons’ grants, the second day to disability grants, and the third day to children’s grants, along with all other remaining grants. This organised approach reduces long queues, prevents system delays, and ensures that beneficiaries receive their funds without unnecessary challenges.

For April 2026, older persons’ grants will be paid on Tuesday, 4 April 2026. Disability grants will be issued on Wednesday, 5 April 2026. Children’s grants and all other grants will be paid on Thursday, 6 April 2026. Beneficiaries can collect their payments from ATMs, retail stores such as Shoprite, Checkers, Pick n Pay, and Boxer, or from post office branches and other approved pay points. Once deposited, the funds remain in the account until withdrawn, so there is no need to rush to collect them on the first day.
