SASSA SRD R350 October Payments Update | News

Social grant payments for the forthcoming month of October will soon be made by the South African Social Security Agency (Sassa). Here is the schedule for social grant payments in October 2022.

Sassa social grant recipients have three different ways to get their grant payout which include: direct deposits into their bank accounts, through CashSend, or through their Sassa cards. Select supermarkets such as Pick & Pay, Boxer, Shoprite, Checkers, or USave merchants are locations where grant payments can be collected as well.

Here are the grant payment dates for the rest of October 2022:

• Older person’s grant: Monday 3 October
  • This includes any grants linked to this account
• Disability grant: Tuesday 4 October
  • This includes any grants linked to this account
• Rest of the Sassa grants: Wednesday 5 October

Grants and allowances are provided by the South African Social Security Agency (Sassa) to impoverished, disadvantaged citizens of the country. Children’s grants, grants for the elderly, grants for people with disabilities, as well as the R350 Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant are among these.

SRD grant payment dates are not fixed and there is, therefore, no fixed SRD payment schedule. Beneficiaries will however be able to see grant payment dates on their SRD portals and should wait for an SMS saying their grant is ready to be collected.
