SASSA will pay the COVID-19 SRD grants for October 2025 during the last week of the month. The payments will happen from October 25 to 29.

People who get the grant should check their bank details to make sure they are right. This will help them get their money on time. Some people might not get their payment if their bank details need to be checked first.
Others might have their accounts marked as referred. If you were approved but haven’t gotten your money you should look into these issues. You can check your status on the SASSA website or call their office for help.
You can update your information on the SRD website or through your online account.
After we check your bank details we will send your payment in the next round. If you haven’t received your money after the payment date you should call the SASSA help desk.
Sometimes this happens because of problems with bank accounts. SASSA wants to remind everyone to keep their personal details and bank information current.
This helps make sure you get your grant money on time.
