SASSA has confirmed the following payment schedule for November 2025:
- Older Persons Grant: Tuesday, 4 November 2025

- Children’s Grant: Thursday, 6 November 2025
Each category has a separate payment date to ensure a smooth and efficient process at pay points and retail partners across the country.
What Beneficiaries Should Know Before Collection
Beneficiaries are encouraged to collect their grants a few days after their scheduled payment date to avoid long queues. Payments will remain available in your account once deposited — there’s no need to rush to withdraw the funds immediately.
SASSA payments can be collected via:
- Direct deposit into a bank account
- SASSA Gold Card at ATMs
- Participating retailers such as Shoprite, Boxer, and Pick n Pay
Always carry your ID and SASSA card when collecting in person. Double-check your balance before making any purchases to prevent overdrawing.
How to Check Your SASSA Grant Status
If you’re unsure whether your SASSA Grant payment has been processed, there are quick ways to check:
- Online: Visit the official SASSA website and log in to your account.
- SMS: Send your ID number to 32573 to receive your status.
- In person: Visit your nearest SASSA office or Post Office branch.
Staying informed about your payment status ensures you never miss a collection or experience unnecessary stress.
Tips to Keep Your Grant Secure
Protecting your SASSA funds is essential. Always keep your card and PIN confidential. Avoid sharing personal details with anyone who promises to “speed up” your payment — these are common scams. If your card is lost or stolen, report it immediately to SASSA’s toll-free helpline at 0800 60 10 11.
Stay Updated and Informed
SASSA often updates its schedule around public holidays or technical adjustments. Therefore, it’s wise to regularly check Gauteng News or the official SASSA website for verified updates on SASSA Grant Payment Dates for November 2025 and beyond.
