SASSA has set its 2025/2026 social grant payment calendar, sticking to a staggered system to cut queues and keep pay points moving. Older persons are paid first, followed by disability and then children’s grants. April starts on 2–4 April, May on 6–8 May, August on 5–7, and September on 2–4. The agency says better biometrics and new pay points near border communities will reduce disruptions.
