The information is clear and easy to follow for everyone who gets SASSA support.
Why Are Payment Systems Changing This Month?
SASSA has released the payment dates for November 2025. The payments will happen on different days to make things easier for everyone. People who need the money most will get paid first. Here are the dates:
– Old age pensions will be paid on Tuesday November 2 2025
– Disability money will be paid on Wednesday November 3 2025
– Child support & other grants will be paid on Thursday November 4 2025
The R370 grant for people without jobs will be paid after these dates. You can check when you’ll get paid by looking at the SASSA website www.sassa.gov.za. SASSA asks people not to all come on the first day to avoid long lines at payment points.
Tackling Grant Fraud: Role of Biometrics and New Checks
SASSA needs better ways to stop fraud as more people try to cheat the system. They are adding new security features that scan fingerprints and faces to catch people who try to steal benefits. Fake ID documents are a big problem because the wrong people end up getting money meant for real beneficiaries. The SASSA CEO Themba Matlou says the new security system will work better now. He stated that they fixed the problems that were slowing things down and can move forward with the changes. People who get SASSA benefits need to go to their local office to sign up in the new system. This will make sure they keep getting their payments without any problems.
New Measures to Stop Unauthorised Deductions from Your Grant
SASSA is worried about money being taken from people’s grants without permission. The rules say only one payment can come out each month. This payment must be less than 10% of the grant money. The person getting the grant needs to agree first. If you see money taken without your permission go to a SASSA office right away to report it. You can also send a text message to 34548. Include your ID number and bank details in the message. It’s important to watch your grant money carefully to make sure no one takes it without asking.
