The South African Social Security Agency (Sassa) has announced the payment dates of grants for September.
Disbursements set to begin in the first week of the month.
September 2026 payment schedule:
Previously, Sassa reminded beneficiaries that a fourth payment day was introduced for social grant recipients who have been identified for grant reviews or eLife Certification, warning that failure to comply could result in grants being suspended.
Beneficiaries who received grants on the fourth payment day are reminded to visit their nearest Sassa office to complete the review process and avoid disruptions to future payments.
According to SASSA, social grant reviews and eLife Certification are conducted in terms of the Social Assistance Act and are intended to verify beneficiaries' continued eligibility for grants. The process also helps prevent payments to deceased or ineligible individuals, detect fraud, and ensure public funds are directed to qualifying recipients.
The agency said regular reviews play a critical role in maintaining the integrity of the social assistance system while improving communication and service delivery through updated beneficiary information.
