SRD R370 Grant	Last week of June	Individual dates vary

SASSA follows a consistent pattern: permanent grants (Older Persons, Disability, Children's) are paid in the first week of the month on consecutive working days, avoiding weekends and public holidays. June has no public holidays affecting the first week, so dates are straightforward this month.

SRD R370 - Why Is Your Date Different?

Unlike permanent grants, SRD payments do not happen on a single date for all recipients. SASSA staggers SRD payments across the last week of the month to avoid overwhelming the banking system and ATM networks. Your specific payment date is assigned to you individually and can be found by checking your status at srd.sassa.gov.za - it will show next to your "Approved" status once the payment has been scheduled, usually from the 15th of the month onwards.

Where Can You Collect Your Grant?

SASSA offers several collection points to avoid long queues at a single location. My advice: if you have a bank account linked to your grant, use an ATM or bank app - it is faster and safer than queuing at a retailer on pay day. The queues at Pick n Pay, Shoprite and Boxer are longest on the first day of payment.

• Retailers: Pick n Pay, Boxer, Shoprite, Checkers and USave - using your SASSA card or a CashSend notification
• ATMs: Any ATM that accepts your card
• Bank transfer: If you updated your banking details, it arrives directly in your account
• Post Office: Available at select branches where the service is still operational

What to Do if Your Payment Is Late

Late payments in the first three working days are usually caused by high transaction volumes - SASSA processes millions of payments simultaneously. Wait until the end of the third working day before taking action.

If your payment has not arrived after three working days:

• Check your banking details at srd.sassa.gov.za - an expired or closed account is the most common cause
• Check that your status still shows "Approved" for this month
• Call SASSA on 0800 60 10 11 (free, Mon - Fri 8am to 4pm)
• Visit your nearest SASSA office if the problem is not resolved by phone
