The South African Social Security Agency will make its last grant payments of 2025 as the festive season gets closer. These payments will provide much-needed support to millions of South Africans who depend on social grants. The agency has scheduled these final disbursements to ensure that beneficiaries receive their funds before the holiday period begins. This timing helps families plan their expenses & prepare for the celebrations ahead.
Social Security will process payments on schedule for all recipient groups so people can make their holiday plans without financial stress.
Older persons will receive their grants on Tuesday December 2 2025. Disability beneficiaries will get their payments on Wednesday December 3 2025.
Children & other grant recipients can expect their payments on Thursday December 4 2025.
Social Relief of Distress grant recipients will receive their funds between December 24 and 30 2025.
