SASSA Grant Payment Dates for June 2026
SASSA Grant Payment Dates for June 2026.
This is to notify the general public that SASSA has announced the scheduled dates for beneficiaries to get paid in June 2026. SASSA issues grants to vulnerable South Africans all over.
Permanent Social Grants (Older Persons, Disability, Child Support, etc.)
SASSA pays regular permanent social grants on a monthly staggered schedule to manage cash flow and crowds at pay points. Older Persons Grants go first, followed by Disability Grants and then Children-related grants.
Expected payment dates for June 2026:
| Grant Type | Expected Payment Date | Day (Working Day) |
|---|---|---|
| Older Persons Grant | 3 June 2026 | Wednesday |
| Disability Grant | 4 June 2026 | Thursday |
| Child Support & Related Grants | 5 June 2026 | Friday |
These dates are based on the typical monthly calendar used by SASSA over the previous cycle where June payouts follow this 3-4-5 pattern.
What this means:
- Older Persons Grants (pension and War Veteran’s grants) are released first to prioritise access for elderly beneficiaries.
- Disability Grants follow the next day.
- Children’s Grants (Child Support, Foster Child, Care Dependency, and Grant-in-Aid when part of the same account) are paid last.
- Payments are made via direct bank deposit, SASSA card, or approved pay points/ATMs and usually remain available until claimed.
Social Relief of Distress (SRD) R370 Grant
Unlike the permanent grants above, the SRD R370 does not have fixed calendar dates tied to a specific day. Instead:
- SRD payments are released in batches at the end of each month after applications are processed and approved.
- For June 2026, the payment window is typically around late June (e.g., ~22 – 30 June), though exact dates vary per applicant and when approval is confirmed.
- Recipients should check their individual payment status via the official SASSA SRD portal using their ID number and registered mobile number to see their exact payday.
Important Notes for June 2026 SASSA Grant Recipients
A. Bank Processing Times
- Even after the official payment issue date, banks can take 2–3 working days to show the funds in accounts. If you don’t see your payment on the day listed above, check again after a few days.
B. Public Holidays & Weekends
- If a scheduled payday falls on a weekend or public holiday, SASSA generally moves payments to the preceding working day or the next available day so beneficiaries receive funds on time.
C. Verification & Eligibility
- Ensure your banking details, identification documents, and verification statuses are up to date. Issues in these areas can delay payments.
D. Checking Your Payment
- You can confirm your payment status and dates via:
- SASSA’s official website or portal
- SASSA mobile app or SRD status checker
- Calling the SASSA toll-free helpline: 0800 60 10 11
- Visiting your nearest SASSA office

- 3 June 2026: Older Persons Grants
- 4 June 2026: Disability Grants
