Sassa announces September 2026 payment dates for social grants
Sassa has revealed the crucial payment dates for September 2026, urging beneficiaries to comply with grant reviews to ensure uninterrupted support.
The South African Social Security Agency (Sassa) has revealed the payment schedule for social grants in September 2026. The first disbursements will commence in the early weeks of the month.
Sassa has reminded beneficiaries that an additional payment day has been introduced for those who are undergoing grant reviews or eLife Certification. If a beneficiary fails to comply with the review process, their grants may be suspended.
Beneficiaries who received payments on the fourth day of the month should visit their nearest Sassa office to complete the review procedure. This action will prevent any interruptions to future grant payments.
Sassa explains that grant reviews and eLife Certification are mandated by the Social Assistance Act. The purpose is to confirm beneficiaries' continued eligibility for the grants, prevent payments to deceased or ineligible individuals, identify instances of fraud, and ensure that public funds are allocated to those who genuinely require them.
Regular reviews are crucial for upholding the integrity of the social assistance system and enhancing communication and service delivery through the provision of accurate beneficiary information.
