South Africa’s Social Security Agency (SASSA) sets out payment dates for August 2026, including an additional payment day for beneficiaries whose applications or grants are flagged for review. According to the information circulated, beneficiaries who are under review are scheduled to be paid on the fourth payment day. SASSA also advises affected recipients to respond promptly to any review requests or documentation requirements, as continued eligibility depends on timely cooperation and the completion of the review process.
The notice emphasises that payment timing is adjusted for those in review status to allow administrative checks to be finalised. It also indicates that beneficiaries not affected by reviews follow the standard payment schedule, while review cases receive payment later within the month’s processing plan. Overall, the update outlines how grant payments are organised in August 2026 and highlights SASSA’s position that beneficiaries should act without delay to avoid interruptions to grant eligibility.
