By November 2025, the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) will issue social grant payments on scheduled dates depending on the type and frequency of the grant. These monthly payments include benefits such as the Old Age Grant, Disability Grant, and Child Support Grant, which are provided to eligible beneficiaries across South Africa.
November 2025 Payment Schedule
For November 2025, the SASSA payment date is set for Tuesday, 5 November 2025. Typically, SASSA grants are paid on the 4th day of each month, but when this date falls on a weekend or public holiday, payments are moved to the next working day. In November 2025, since 4 November is a Monday (non-working adjustment), payments will be processed on the next workday — 5 November 2025.
Some regions or special grant groups may receive payments earlier or later depending on local administrative schedules, but the national standard date remains the 4th or the next working day.
How to Check Your SASSA Payment
- Visit the official SASSA website or use the government mobile application.
- Monitor SMS notifications sent to your registered mobile number before the payment date.
- Contact your nearest SASSA office or community centre for confirmation.
Payments are usually transferred directly to the beneficiary’s bank account, but can also be collected at authorized pay points.
Tips for Beneficiaries
- Ensure your personal details and bank information are up to date with SASSA to avoid delays.
- If the payment date falls on a holiday or weekend, expect payment on the next working day.
- Always obtain information from official SASSA channels to avoid scams or misinformation.
