We are pleased to provide you with details regarding the SASSA R350 Grant Payment Schedule for October 2024-2025.

SASSA has officially confirmed that the disbursement of social grant payments for October will proceed as scheduled. While there is no specific fixed date allocated for the transfer of SASSA R350 grant payments to bank accounts, SASSA strongly encourages all R350 grant recipients to opt for the bank account payment method. This method offers the advantage of accessing the R350 grant from any location.

It is noteworthy that the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) has encountered some delays in delivering the R350 Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant to eligible beneficiaries.

The issuance of these recurring grants typically initiates on the second day of each new month.

A significant change is that South African Post Office branches will no longer handle the disbursement of SASSA R350 SRD grants.

SASSA emphasizes that specific payment dates are not set for SRD grant recipients.

Beneficiaries are advised to wait for an SMS notification before attempting to withdraw the grant from authorized merchants or banks. For individuals without banking details, the option to receive the grant in cash is available at Post Office branches (SAPO/Post Bank), Pick-N-Pay, or Boxer stores.

It is important to note that the SASSA SRD R350 program has been extended for an additional 12 months, continuing until March 2024.

Payment dates for various grant categories are as follows:

• Older Person’s Grant: This encompasses all grants associated with this category.
• Disability Grant: This includes all grants linked to this category.
• All Other Grants:
