The South African Social Security Agency (Sassa) has officially released the SRD grant payment dates for June 2025, bringing clarity and relief to the millions of South Africans relying on this vital social support. With the R370 Sassa SRD grant being a lifeline for many unemployed and vulnerable citizens, the announcement of payment dates is crucial for budgeting and survival.
SRD Grant Payment Dates for June 2025
Sassa has confirmed that SRD grant payments for the month of June 2025 will be processed from Thursday, 26 June to Monday, 30 June 2025. These dates apply only to approved applicants of the R370 SRD grant for June.
Payment Window: 26 June 2025 – 30 June 2025
Important to note: Even though payments are processed between 26 and 30 June, beneficiaries might not receive their money immediately. According to Sassa, it takes 2 to 3 working days after processing for the money to reflect in a beneficiary’s bank account.
This delay is due to interbank processing timelines and other transactional verifications.
What to Expect After Your SRD Payment is Processed
Once your SRD payment is processed:
- It will take 2–3 business days to reflect in your bank account.
- You will receive the R370 as long as your application for June has been approved.
- Funds can then be used immediately upon reflection in your account.
Sassa Status Check for R370 Payment Dates – June & July 2025
For those waiting for their R370 SRD grant, it’s essential to check your status regularly. You can do this by performing a Sassa status check for R370 payment dates via the official SRD website.

This check is available for June 2025, and you can also view SRD payment dates for July 2025 when they become available.
How Sassa Verifies SRD Grant Applications
Many applicants are unaware of how thoroughly Sassa verifies SRD grant applications. Understanding this process can reduce confusion and help ensure that your application stands the best chance of being approved.
1. Personal Information Validation
When applying for the R370 SRD grant, you must provide:
- Full name and surname
- South African ID number
- Contact number
This data is validated through the Department of Home Affairs to ensure your ID is valid and matches your records.
2. Financial Verification via National Databases
To prevent fraud and double-dipping, Sassa cross-checks your ID against:
- SARS (South African Revenue Services)
To ensure you are not currently paying tax, which could disqualify you. - UIF (Unemployment Insurance Fund)
To confirm that you are not receiving UIF payouts. - NSFAS
To determine if you are currently a student receiving state aid.
These checks help Sassa decide whether you’re financially eligible for the SRD grant.
3. Fraud Risk Scoring
Both your ID number and mobile number are subjected to a fraud risk scoring system. This step helps Sassa identify and prevent suspicious or duplicate applications.
4. Final Evaluation
If all the above checks are passed, your SRD application is evaluated for approval. If there are any discrepancies or conflicts (e.g., you appear to be employed or receiving UIF), the application may be denied.
Common Reasons Why SRD Applications Are Declined
If your application for the R370 SRD grant is not approved, it could be due to the following:
- Receiving another source of income
- Incorrect or mismatched ID details
- Active UIF or NSFAS funding
- Banking or mobile number discrepancies
- Duplicate applications using same ID/mobile number
Always make sure that your banking details and mobile number are updated correctly on the Sassa system.
What to Do If You Haven’t Received Your SRD Grant Payment
If you’re approved but have not yet received your payment:
- Re-check your banking information on the SRD portal.
- Confirm your status for June on the Sassa status check page.
- Wait 2–3 business days after the processing date (26–30 June).
- Contact Sassa via their toll-free number 0800 60 10 11 for assistance.
Additional Tips for SRD Grant Beneficiaries
To ensure that you receive your R370 SRD grant on time:
- Always ensure your banking details are current and correct.
- Use a personal bank account in your name to avoid mismatches.
- Avoid applying multiple times with different phone numbers or emails.
- Save your Sassa confirmation SMS for your records.
July 2025 SRD Grant Payment Schedule
While Sassa has only announced the June 2025 SRD payment dates, it’s likely that July 2025 payments will follow a similar timeline — being processed in the final week of July.
Beneficiaries are encouraged to keep checking the official Sassa SRD website for updated July payment dates and status checks.
