Have not received my SASSA grant payment for June 2025

If you have not received your SASSA grant payment for June 2025, you are not alone. Delays in social grant disbursements can happen for a variety of reasons—ranging from technical glitches and expired SASSA cards to issues with application approvals. This guide walks you through the steps you can take to verify your payment status, resolve potential problems, and get the support you need to ensure your grant is processed.

What are the common reasons for delayed SASSA grant payments?

Understanding why your SASSA grant payment may be delayed can help you take the right steps toward resolving the issue. There are several common causes of late or missing payments that beneficiaries should be aware of.

1. Unapproved or Pending Application

If your grant application or monthly re-evaluation is still pending or hasn’t been approved for the month in question (e.g., June 2025), no payment will be made. This is a common cause for delay, especially with the Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant, which requires monthly eligibility assessments.

2. Expired or Blocked SASSA Card

An expired or damaged SASSA card can block payments from being processed. Some cards may also be temporarily blocked due to suspicious activity or non-usage for extended periods.

3. Incorrect or Outdated Banking Details

Incorrect or outdated bank account information can result in failed or returned payments. This includes bank accounts that have been closed, frozen, or mismatched with your ID details.

4. System Errors or Payment Backlogs

Sometimes delays are caused by technical issues on SASSA’s side or their payment partners (e.g., PostBank). These glitches can temporarily delay processing for thousands of recipients.

5. Identity or Verification Failures

If SASSA cannot verify your identity with the Department of Home Affairs or cannot confirm your eligibility, your payment may be delayed or denied. This can happen due to discrepancies in ID records or a failed biometric check.

What do I do if I have not received my payment for June 2025?

If you have not yet received your grant payment for June 2025, it is possible that there was a delay or an issue with your payment. If that is the case, here are the steps you can take to resolve the issue. 

Check payment dates 

It is very important for all grant beneficiaries to stay updated on grant payment dates. The June 2025 payment dates for different grants were as follows: June 2 for Older Persons Grant, June 2 for Disability grant, and June 4 for Children’s Grants. While it does not mean that if you do not collect on the scheduled dates you miss payment, it is advisable to stay updated to avoid delays.

Verify your application status 

If you haven’t yet received your payment, it could also be because your application for said month has not been approved. You can check your status on the official website online or call 080 060 1011 from your SASSA-linked phone number. The SASSA website may also have information or status updates about payments. Moreover, ensure that you check SASSA’s official social media pages for any updates or announcements. 

Contact SASSA directly 

You can also call the SASSA contact center directly for assistance. Alternatively, visit your local SASSA branch and inquire about your payment status. If your grant is paid via PostBank, you can contact PostBank for inquiries. 

Address potential issues 

You can also work to address any potential issues that may have resulted in delay of your payment. It could be an expired SASSA card—get a replacement to receive your payment. Also, if you have issues with your application, you need to resolve them before you can receive payment. 

How can I avoid grant payment issues in the future?
