Not yet announced
SASSA has not yet published the payment dates for May 2027. We only show dates SASSA, the Department of Social Development or National Treasury has officially announced, so we will not guess. Check back later, or check SASSA's official channels.
Good to know
- Older persons are usually paid first, then disability grants, then children's grants (Child Support, Foster Child and Care Dependency).
- The Grant-in-Aid is paid with the grant it is added to. SRD (R370) payments have their own dates on srd.sassa.gov.za.
- Only trust dates from SASSA's official channels. Fake payment-date posts are common on social media. How to spot a scam.
Frequently asked questions
When will SASSA announce the May 2027 dates?

Not SASSA. General information, not advice. KayaGrant is an independent website. It is not SASSA and is not affiliated with SASSA, the Department of Social Development or any government body. We summarise official information from SASSA, the Government Gazette, the Social Assistance Act and its regulations, and the Department of Social Development. It is general information, not legal or financial advice, and the means test result is an estimate: only SASSA can decide whether you qualify and how much you are paid. Always confirm with SASSA on 0800 60 10 11, at a SASSA office or on sassa.gov.za.
