SASSA has scheduled the old age grant payment for early July, with the pay day confirmed for Wednesday, 2 July 2025. To receive your payment, your SASSA grant status must show as approved for July 2025. Any issues, such as outdated banking details, an unverified ID, or pending biometrics, may result in a delay.
You can check your old age grant status for July 2025 on the SASSA website by entering your South African ID number and the phone number used in your grant application.

Grant payments will be distributed from 08:00 AM to 04:30 PM on the scheduled pay day, including any linked grant for War Veterans and Grant-in-Aid recipients.
All eligible beneficiaries who have been approved for the old age grant for July 2025 will receive their payments directly into their bank accounts. Those without banking services can collect their funds at partnered retail outlets or ATMs using their SASSA card.
If your old age grant has been declined, you must submit a SASSA appeal for July 2025 to request reinstatement. Many elderly beneficiaries receive a declined status due to pending identity verification. You have to verify your identity at mobile SASSA outreach sites in the local area or visit the regional office.
Update: SASSA has assured beneficiaries that the Gold Card remains valid for July 2025 payments. However, Postbank has confirmed that the Gold Card will be phased out once all remaining beneficiaries have transitioned to the new Black Card, which offers enhanced security and improved reliability for future grant payments.
