SASSA will pay social grants in October 2025. They shared the payment dates early which helps everyone plan better. The schedule came out a month before the actual payments start. This makes it easier for people who get grants to manage their money. Students who get academic grants and need to wait until the end of June will be ready for their October 2025 payment. The new system works better for both SASSA & the people who receive grants.
