SASSA payment dates for the SRD grant vary from person to person, but for Disability grants, old age, and the Child support grant, they are paid at the start of each month.
For the SRD Grant, SASSA beneficiaries can check their status, and if they are approved, they can check their R350 payment date for that month on the SRD status check page.
