The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) has verified that there will be significant growth in the payment of social grants beginning November 2025 and will see the lives of millions of vulnerable South Africans enhanced. This has important programmes that include the Child Support Grant, Old Age Grant, Disability Grant and Foster Care Grant. Being aware of the new amounts and official payment schedule will be necessary to help the beneficiaries save their money well within the next few months.
Revised 2025 Grant Payments
According to the 2025 budget allocations, major changes have been realized in regards to the monthly grant payments. Older Persons Grants and Disability Grants has been pegged at about R2,315 where the beneficiaries are between the ages of 60 and 74 years and R2,335 where the beneficiaries are 75 years and above. Child Support Grant has also been raised to R560 per month per child. In the meantime, Foster Child Grant has increased to R1,250 per child. These increments are a move along that direction of keeping abreast of inflation and raising the purchasing power of grant recipients, although advocacy organizations continue to indicate continuing deficiencies on the adequacy front.
November 2025 Official Payments Schedule
To make sure that the funds can be properly disbursed, SASSA declared a clear payment schedule:
- Older Persons Grant payments will be made on Tuesday, 4 November 2025.
- On Wednesday, 5 November 2025, Disability Grant payments will be made.
- Child Support Grant, and Foster Care and Care Dependency Grants will be distributed on Thursday, 6 November 2025.
- The Social Relief of Distress (SRD) Grant remittances will be made later in the month, from 24–30 November 2025.
The money is usually deposited through the banks but beneficiaries may also use the money in cash and receive their grants at the big retail outlets like Pick n Pay, Shoprite, Checkers and other SASSA payment points.
Reminders and Verification of Applications
SASSA encourages all beneficiaries to check and correct their personal and banking information so that they do not lose their payments, especially during the peak season of the holidays. Those who fail to get payments on the due dates are requested to go to local SASSA offices to seek help or call the free helpline at 0800 60 10 11. SASSA also informs the population against fake news and stresses that no second payments are approved and that all official information should be provided through the platforms of SASSA.
