Here are the SASSA grant payment dates for February 2025

The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) has confirmed the payment dates for February. Social grant recipients in Pretoria can expect their payments according to the official schedule, with specific dates set for each category to ensure timely disbursements throughout the month.

Postbank has reassured Pretoria grant beneficiaries that their Gold Cards will remain valid throughout 2025, despite previous statements indicating an expiration date of 31 December 2024.

The cards will continue to be accepted until they are replaced with the new Black Cards.

Last year, finance Minister Enoch Godongwana confirmed that the permanent SASSA grants will be INCREASED.

Godongwana delivered his 2024 Budget Speech to Parliament earlier this year.

Permanent social grants are increased to keep pace with inflation and increase access:

• An increase of R100 to the old age, war veterans, disability and care dependency grants. This amount will be divided into R90 effective from April, and R10 effective October;
• A R50 increase to the foster care grant; and
• A R20 increase to the child support grant.
• The social relief of distress grant will increase by R20 or 5.7% from April 1.

About 26 million people in SA receive social grants at a total cost of R266 billion a year.
