SASSA September 2026 payment dates: Full schedule
These dates come from the Department of Social Development's 2026/27 payment schedule, approved by National Treasury.
South Africa's Social Security Agency (SASSA) has announced its September 2026 payment schedule. Older Persons, Disability, and War Veterans Grants will be paid on Wednesday, September 2. Children's Grants (Child Support, Foster Child, and Care Dependency) will be paid on Friday, September 4. Review and eLife Certification payments will occur on Monday, September 7.
SASSA follows a staggered payment system, distributing grants early in the month and spacing them over three days to minimize pressure on the National Payment System. The dates avoid common holidays, weekends, and the first of the month. September 2026 sees no changes to grant amounts, with Older Persons, Disability, and Care Dependency Grants remaining at R2,400, War Veterans Grant at R2,420, Child Support and Grant-in-Aid at R580, and Foster Child Grant at R1,290 (rising to R1,300 in October).
The SRD R370 grant will continue to be paid in batches later in the month, with exact dates yet to be announced.
