Social grant recipients in South Africa won’t get any special bonus payments in November 2025. The government has made it clear that everyone will only receive a standard R10 increase to their grants. Some people thought they would get big extra payments but these stories were false. The government wants everyone to know that the only change will be the normal yearly increase. There won’t be any extra money or one-time bonuses given out. This applies to all types of social grants in the country. The message is simple: expect the basic R10 increase and nothing more.
Understanding the R10 Increase and Its Purpose
– Social grants have increased for all groups. People aged 60 to 74 will now get R3,230 instead of R2,180.
– Those who are 75 and older will receive R3,250 up from R2,200.
– People with disabilities & those needing care support will get R3230 which is up from R2180.
– Foster care grants have gone up to R1,230 from R1,180.
– Child support payments increased to R550 from R530.
These new payment amounts include the standard increase that applies to everyone.
Eligible Beneficiaries for the November 2025 Adjustment
The extra money is only for people who already get SASSA grants. To qualify you need to be 60 or older and live legally in South Africa. You also must not earn too much money or own too many things. This bonus payment is not for new applicants. It’s meant for existing grant holders who meet these rules.
