For the SRD R370 grant, there is no single fixed payday for everyone. Your payment date is specific to you and usually falls towards the end of the month (typically between the 20th and 30th).
Since the main permanent grant dates for December (Older Persons, Disability, Child) have already passed (Dec 2–4), you are likely looking for your SRD R370 date or next month’s schedule.
1. How to Check Your Specific Payday (SRD R370)
You must check your status monthly to see your approved pay date.
Online (Free): Go to srd.sassa.gov.za/sc19/status. Enter your ID and phone number. Look for the “Pay Date” field for December 2025.
WhatsApp: Save 082 046 8553 to your contacts. Message “Status” to the number and follow the prompts.
USSD Code: Dial 1347737# on your phone (free on most networks).
Note: If your status says “Approved” but there is no pay date yet, it means the payment has not been processed. Check again in 2–3 days.

2. Upcoming Payment Dates (January 2026)
If you are asking about the next cycle for permanent grants (Pension, Disability, Child), they are expected to be:
| Grant Type | Expected Date |
| Older Persons Grant | Tuesday, 6 January 2026 |
| Disability Grant | Wednesday, 7 January 2026 |
| Children’s Grants | Thursday, 8 January 2026 |
*Dates are projected based on the 2025/2026 schedule. Since Jan 1 is a holiday and Jan 2 is a Friday, SASSA often pushes payments to the first full week of the month.
3. If You Haven’t received your December Grant yet
If you receive a permanent grant (Pension/Child/Disability) and were not paid on Dec 2–4:
Check for “Review”: Sometimes SASSA reviews your status. Dial 0800 60 10 11 to confirm your grant hasn’t been suspended.
Bank Delays: If you switched payment methods recently, there might be a delay of up to 3 days.
