The South African Social Security Agency will make its final grant payments of 2025 before the festive season begins. These payments will provide vital support to millions of South Africans who depend on social grants. The agency has scheduled these last payments to ensure beneficiaries receive their money before the holiday period. This timing helps families plan their expenses and prepare for the celebrations ahead.
Older persons will receive their grants on December 15 2025. Disability beneficiaries will get their payments on December 16 2025. Children and other grant recipients can expect their payments on December 17 2025.
