The different dates are selected to avoid situations where there is overcrowding at ATMs, banks, Post Office or SASSA offices.

SASSA payment dates for September 2021

According to SASSA’s schedule, payment dates for September 2021 for social grants are as follows:

Older persons’ grants will be paid from 3 September 2021. This includes any grants linked to these accounts.
Disability grants will be paid from 6 September 2021. This includes any grants linked to these accounts.
All other grants will be paid from 7 September 2021. These include children’s grants, foster care grants and care dependency grants.
