Grant Payment Delays for June 2025
SASSA has announced that some targeted grant beneficiaries may experience delays in June 2025 payments. This follows a verification initiative that began in May 2025 to improve the integrity of the grant system. Approximately 200,000 social grant beneficiaries may be affected.
- Individuals flagged during bulk means testing for having undisclosed income in other accounts.
- Beneficiaries using alternative forms of ID instead of the standard 13-digit South African ID.
These individuals must visit SASSA offices to verify their details. Failure to do so may result in suspension or lapsing of grants. The initiative is designed to prevent fraud and ensure only qualified beneficiaries receive support.
SRD Grant (R370) Payment Schedule
- Payments occur between the 24th and 30th of each month.
- Funds usually reflect within 2–3 business days after being processed.
