The South African Social Security Agency Sassa has confirmed the official payment dates for the 2026/27 financial year, after approval from the National Treasury this past Friday.
Sassa stated that the schedule is guided by the principle of ensuring grants are paid as early in the month as possible, typically over a three-day period.
In most months, the older persons grant will be paid on the second of each month, the disability grant on the third, and childrens grants on the fourth, Sassa confirmed.
