The Sassa old age grant payment date for October follows the agency’s established schedule for older persons’ grants.
While the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) has not officially published the October 2025 dates as of 7 September 2025, beneficiaries can expect the payment to begin on Wednesday, 1 October 2025, based on previous patterns.
Expected Payment Date for October 2025
- Older Persons Grant: Wednesday, 1 October 2025
This date is in line with Sassa’s consistent practice of releasing older persons’ grants at the beginning of each month, before disability and children’s grants.
Why the Payment Date Matters
The old age grant provides critical financial support for older beneficiaries. Knowing the payment date helps recipients plan ahead, avoid unnecessary travel, and reduce long queues at payment points.
Funds remain available once deposited, so beneficiaries do not need to withdraw immediately.
