SASSA has released payment dates for various grant categories, including old age, disability, and children’s grants for June 2024. 

This comes after the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) released the payment schedule for the 2024/25 financial year.

• According to SASSA, the first week of the month is reserved for elderly, child, and disability grant payments. 

The permanent SASSA grants have been increased. 

Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana delivered his 2024 Budget Speech to Parliament earlier this year.

Permanent social grants are increased to keep pace with inflation and increase access:

• An increase of R100 for old age, war veterans, and disability and care dependency grants. This amount will be divided into R90 effective from April, and R10 effective October;
• A R50 increase to the foster care grant; and
• A R20 increase to the child support grant.

Here’s the order of grant payments: First, it’s the turn of Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant recipients, followed by all other grants.

• Older Persons or Pensioners Grants: Monday, 3 June 2024
• Disability Grants: Wednesday, 5 June 2024
• Children’s and all other Grants: Thursday, 6 June 2024
