Step-by-Step SASSA Status Check for R350 Payment 2026-2027:
The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) plays an important role in helping thousands of people across the country through different social intervention grants. These include the Older Persons Grant, Disability Grant, Child Support Grant, and the Social Relief of Distress (SRD) R350 grant. Every year, SASSA releases a payment schedule so that beneficiaries know exactly when to expect their funds. For the 2026-2027 period, this schedule is more important than ever for planning and avoiding unnecessary delays.
The SASSA Schedule 2026-2027 lists the exact payment dates for each grant type, usually spread across different days to prevent overcrowding at pay points. Older Persons Grants are often paid first, followed by Disability Grants, and then Child Support and other grants. The SRD R350 grant is normally paid after these main grants.
By knowing the official payment dates, beneficiaries can plan when to collect their money from the Post Office, retail stores like Shoprite, Boxer, or Pick n Pay, or directly from their bank accounts. This helps avoid long queues, manage travel costs, and ensure that you have your funds when you need them most. You can find it on the official SASSA website, through the GovChat platform, or on SASSA’s social media pages. Staying updated with the SASSA Schedule 2026-2027 is the best way to stay in control of your grant payments, avoid missed collection days, and keep your budget on track throughout the year.
