The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) grant beneficiaries should take note of the crucial payment dates in November 2025 to ensure they receive their much-needed financial support.

Older Persons Grant

The payment for the Older Persons Grant will be disbursed on Tuesday, November 4, 2025. This grant provides essential monthly financial support to elderly individuals in need, helping them maintain a basic standard of living.

Disability Grant

Beneficiaries of the Disability Grant will receive their payments on Wednesday, November 5, 2025. This financial aid serves as a vital resource, enabling people with disabilities to cover their basic expenses.

Children’s Grants

The Children’s Grants, which support vulnerable families, will be paid out on Thursday, November 6, 2025. This grant is crucial for ensuring that children from low-income backgrounds have access to necessary resources and support.

Beneficiary Biometric Enrollment Initiative

SASSA has launched the Beneficiary Biometric Enrollment (BBE) initiative to enhance the integrity of the social grants system. The program uses biometric data to verify identities and prevent fraudulent claims. Since its rollout in September 2025, updates on the BBE have shown its importance in maintaining the security of grant payments.

Recently, Social Development Minister Sisisi Tolashe and SASSA CEO Themba Matlou briefed the Portfolio Committee on Social Development regarding the BBE's progress and challenges. Their ongoing efforts indicate a strong commitment to eliminating fraud and ensuring that assistance reaches those who genuinely need it.
