The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) has announced that May 2025 grant payments will commence later than usual due to the alignment of public holidays and weekends.
The payment schedule for May 2025 is as follows:
-
Older Persons Grant: Tuesday, 6 May 2025
-
Disability Grant: Wednesday, 7 May 2025
-
Child Support Grant: Thursday, 8 May 2025
This adjustment is attributed to the occurrence of public holidays, including Workers’ Day on Thursday, 1 May, and the preceding long weekends, which have impacted the usual disbursement timeline.
Beneficiaries are advised to plan their finances accordingly, considering the delayed payment dates.
