SASSA Grants to Be Paid Twice This Month of April 2025 – Learn About the New Payment Breakdown, Eligibility, and Payout Dates

SASSA Grant Payment April 2025 – With many South African households relying heavily on social grants for daily sustenance, any updates from the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) are of significant public interest. In April 2025, SASSA has confirmed that grants will be paid twice due to the overlapping of the Easter holidays and operational updates. This article explains why this is happening, who qualifies, the exact payment dates, and how this will affect beneficiaries across the country.

Why Are SASSA Grants Being Paid Twice in April 2025?

Due to the Easter holidays falling in late March and early April, SASSA has had to adjust its normal payment calendar. The result is that some grants scheduled for late March were paid in early April, while regular April grants will still be paid on their usual schedule later in the month.

This means eligible beneficiaries will receive two payments in April – one being the adjusted March payment and the other being the regular April disbursement. However, it’s important to note that this doesn’t mean additional funds are being given – it’s simply a scheduling adjustment.

SASSA Grant Payment Dates for April 2025

Here is the updated schedule for the April 2025 SASSA payments:

First Round of Payments (Delayed March Grants):

• Older Person’s Grant: 2 April 2025
