SASSA Payments Dates - October 2024

The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) has officially announced the grant payment dates for October 2024. SASSA is responsible for distributing social grants to millions of South Africans, ensuring that vulnerable groups such as the elderly, disabled, and children have access to financial assistance.

Payments Dates:

For October 2024, SASSA has outlined specific dates for different grant categories. The payment schedule is as follows:

1. Older Person's Grants

• Payment Date: Wednesday, 02 October 2024
• This includes the payment of all grants linked to these accounts, ensuring that beneficiaries who rely on these funds for their monthly expenses will receive them on time.

2. Disability Grants

• Payment Date: Thursday, 03 October 2024
• Similar to the older person’s grants, disability grants will also be distributed, including any associated grants linked to these accounts.

Important Reminders for Beneficiaries

This reminder aims to reduce overcrowding at ATMs and pay points and to encourage safer and more convenient access to funds.
