The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) grant beneficiaries will be able to receive their monthly social grant payments from the scheduled dates in November 2025, depending on the type of grant received.
Sassa grants help millions of vulnerable South Africans, including older persons, people with disabilities, and children, by providing them with much-needed financial support every month.
Grant payment dates for November 2025:
- Older Persons Grant – Tuesday, 4 November 2025
- Disability Grant – Wednesday, 5 November 2025
- Children’s Grants – Thursday, 6 November 2025
IOL has previously reported that the agency has provided an update on its Beneficiary Biometric Enrollment (BBE) initiative, which was rolled out in early September 2025.
The program aims to enhance the integrity of the country’s social grants system by utilising biometric data to verify beneficiaries' identities and prevent fraudulent claims.
Last month Minister of Social Development Sisisi Tolashe and SASSA CEO Themba Matlou briefed the Portfolio Committee on Social Development, detailing the progress and challenges of the BBE since its launch.
“SASSA introduced a massive rollout of the Beneficiary Biometric Enrollment (BBE) in all its local offices across the country in its concerted efforts to enhance the integrity in the social grants system, whilst detecting and curbing all fraudulent elements,” said SASSA.
