SASSA has announced the grant payment dates for June 2025. However, there are some changes that could affect when some people get their grants.
SASSA has provided updates about delays that may impact payments. This includes a new process for checking eligibility and a biometric system for COVID-19 Social Relief of Distress (SRD) applicants.
In May, SASSA reported that over 200,000 grant payments might be delayed because some recipients have undisclosed income. SASSA is investigating these cases to see if the individuals still qualify for support.
Why Some SASSA Grants May Be Delayed in June
This process began before June, and its effects will continue this month. If you are a beneficiary who needs to verify your income, you may not receive your grants on the usual date. This will depend on the results of the review.
Biometric Verification Introduced for New SRD Applicants
Starting in June 2025, all new applicants for the COVID-19 Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant must complete biometric verification as part of their application. SASSA emphasised that they made this change to help reduce fraud and ensure that grants go to those who really need them.
This new step may slow down how quickly new SRD grants are processed and approved. Applicants are urged to always have their smart ID card ready and complete the process online on the official SASSA website.
Confirmed SASSA Grant Payment Dates June 2025
The dates for June 2025 are as follows:
- Older Persons Grant – Wednesday, 4 June 2025
- Disability Grant – Thursday, 5 June 2025
- Children’s Grants and others – Friday, 6 June 2025
SASSA urges beneficiaries to remember that they do not need to rush to withdraw their funds on the payment day. Once the money is paid, it will stay in their account until they decide to take it out.
Stay Informed about SASSA grant payment dates in June 2025
SASSA also reminds beneficiaries to check their grant status online, keep their bank and personal information up to date, and respond quickly to verification requests. If you have not received your payment, contact SASSA directly or visit the nearest office for help.
As June approaches with new systems and income verification reviews, it is crucial for beneficiaries to stay updated. Remember, payment schedules can change, especially when new security measures are introduced.
