Permanent grants and SRD are different

Permanent social grants are often communicated through published payment schedules. SRD payment information can be tied to the individual's period-specific status result, so a generic calendar should not replace the applicant's official result.

How we update this page

We will update date tables only after checking an official SASSA or government source, and we will show the last-verified date beside the schedule.

Frequently asked questions

Can all SRD beneficiaries use one payment date?

Do not assume that. Check the payment information attached to your own official SRD status.

Sources and verification

Dates, eligibility, funding and application rules can change. Re-check the provider or government source before applying.
