The payment schedule for the month of September 2025, regarding the R3,070 grant, has been officially announced by SASSA. This initiative aims to support qualifying individuals and underprivileged households in meeting their day-to-day living needs. It is part of the ongoing efforts by the South African Social Security Agency to provide relief amid rising living costs.
Who is Eligible for the R3,070 Payment?
The R3,070 amount isn’t a single grant, but rather the total a person might receive by combining multiple benefits. For example, a senior citizen could receive an Old Age Grant, a Grant-in-Aid, and other support to reach the R3,070 total. Eligibility depends on factors such as income level, age, disability, and proof of financial need. Applicants must also be South African citizens, permanent residents, or registered refugees.
