Sassa Grants January 2026: R370 Grant Status & Payment Dates
Sassa Grants January 2026 for R370 Grant & Payment Dates: Payments for the SASSA SRD R370 grant will be made weekly once daily payments are done, which happens during the last week of each month, usually from around 26 January to 31 January 2026 (now some sources mention that it’s between 23-30 Jan but most approved beneficiaries receive their grants end month).
Unlike permanent social grants (e.g. Older Persons, Disability and Children’s Grants) the SRD R370 grant does not have one particular day of the month that payments will be made on for everyone. Payments are staged to flow based on the timing of approvals and verification being done, ensuring an organized process and avoiding clogging up the system.

How to Verify Your Particular Payment Date
To avoid delays, and to be sure when your R370 grant will be approved, you may follow these instructions:
- Sassa Grants January 2026 Online: Go to the official SASSA SRD website and and by typing in your ID number as well as the cellphone number you used to register. Find the “Pay Day” or payment date listed below your approval status.
- Payment Window: You can expect funds to be available in the last week of each month. Keep an eye on your status, because dates do shift a bit from group to group.
- Wait for Confirmation: Do not attempt a withdrawal until you get an SMS confirmation or “Approved” with pay day online.
- Bank Time (When SASSA pays): When SASSA makes a payment it takes 2 to 3 days for the money to appear in your bank account, this will be longer over weekends or public holidays.

Advice for an Uncomplicated Transaction
- Update your bank details on the SRD portal!
- Check your status each week in January for approval tracking.
- Look out for scams – SASSA does not require you to pay in order for your grant to be processed.
