June 2025 is a critical month for millions of South Africans who rely on government financial support. This includes beneficiaries of South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) grants and students receiving aid from the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS). To help recipients prepare, we’ve compiled the confirmed payment dates, along with updates and helpful tips to manage the month efficiently.
Why Accurate Payment Information Matters
Access to up-to-date payment schedules allows beneficiaries to plan around their needs and avoid unnecessary costs, such as bank fees due to multiple balance checks or travel expenses from repeated ATM visits. In May 2025, many experienced delays and confusion due to outdated information being circulated online. This guide eliminates the guesswork for June 2025.
SASSA Grant Payment Dates for June 2025
The following table shows the official disbursement dates for each type of SASSA grant:
| Grant Type | Payment Date |

Key Points to Remember for SASSA Payments
