Answer: The SASSA payment dates for the rest of 2024 are as follows:

  • October: 2nd (Old Age), 3rd (Disability), 4th (Children’s Grants)
  • November: 2nd (Old Age), 5th (Disability), 6th (Children’s)
  • December: 2nd (Old Age), 3rd (Disability), 4th (Children’s)

Now you know when to set your alarms. And yes, this is your permission to take a victory dance when the money lands in your account.


Answer: There are a few ways to check your balance, but my personal favorite involves feeling like a tech wizard. You can:

  • Visit an ATM (get some steps in!).
  • Dial 1203210# on your phone (yes, old school move).
  • Or, take a trip to your nearest SASSA office and get it sorted face-to-face. (Erm... no.)

It's not quite as exciting as unlocking hidden treasure, but hey—grant balances are basically gold, right?!


Answer: First things first: don’t panic! Delays happen, and while they’re as fun as getting stuck in traffic, you have options.

  • Contact your local SASSA office.
  • Call the SASSA toll-free helpline at 0800 60 10 11 (don’t worry, they won’t put you on hold forever... hopefully, I think, this is South Africa we are talking about).
  • Check out SASSA’s social media for updates (yes, they’re on there... because even government agencies are social these days).

Answer: Yup, you can. Feel free to collect your grant from various participating retailers, including:

  • Pick n Pay (grab your groceries while you’re there)
  • Shoprite (just don’t get lost in those aisles and spend everything.)
  • Boxer, Checkers, USave, and even ATMs.

Just think of it as your own personal treasure hunt... minus the map and pirates.

My Overview.

There you have it, I think... everything you need to know about your SASSA payments for 2024! Whether it’s sorting out your Old Age Pension, Disability, or Children’s Grants, you now know when to expect your funds (and, more importantly, when to plan your next grocery run).
