SASSA Payment Dates & Status Check

SASSA pays the grants in a fixed order every month, and the date your money lands depends on which grant you are on. This page collects what the department's own schedule and grant pages say — the order, the amounts, the SRD question, and what to do when a payment does not arrive.
