The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) has released the official grant payment schedule for March 2025, providing beneficiaries with crucial information regarding their funds.
SASSA also emphasizes that recipients do not need to withdraw the full amount immediately, as the money remains available when required.
SASSA Grant Payment Dates for March 2025
SASSA has confirmed the following grant disbursement dates for March 2025:
| Grant Type | Payment Date |
|---|---|
| Older Persons Grant | 4 March 2025 |
| Disability Grant | 5 March & 6 March 2025 |
| Children’s Grant | 6 March 2025 |
Beneficiaries are encouraged to withdraw their funds as needed rather than taking out the full amount at once. Once the money is deposited into their accounts, it will remain there until accessed.
Final Payment Cycle for SASSA Gold Cards
Postbank has reminded beneficiaries that March 2025 marks the last payment cycle for SASSA Gold Cards. This means that after this cycle, the SASSA Gold Card will no longer be valid for grant payments.
Deadline to Switch to Postbank Black Card
Grant recipients must switch to the Postbank Black Card by 20 March 2025 to continue receiving payments without interruption.
How to Replace Your SASSA Gold Card for Free
Beneficiaries can replace their SASSA Gold Cards at no cost at the following retail stores:
- Checkers
- Usave
- Boxer
- Pick n Pay
- Shoprite
To get a new Postbank Black Card, beneficiaries must bring either their South African ID or a temporary ID document to the retailer.
SASSA has ensured that beneficiaries can access their grants without any rush or pressure by keeping the funds available for withdrawal at their convenience.
As the transition from the SASSA Gold Card to the Postbank Black Card approaches its final phase, it is essential that recipients make the switch before 20 March 2025 to avoid disruptions in their payments. Beneficiaries can visit authorized retailers to replace their cards free of charge by simply presenting their ID.
