The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) has confirmed that the payment of disability grants for June 2025 started on Tuesday, June 4. This payment includes both permanent and temporary disability grants. The payment is being provided to those who meet the agency’s medical and financial assessment criteria.
This information released by SASSA has brought relief to millions of needy citizens, especially those who cannot work due to health difficulties. This is an important social security measure that the government takes to help the economically weak and health-related citizens live a dignified life.
How to get paid: use only official channels
SASSA has strictly instructed all beneficiaries to use only official payment channels. These include Postbank Cards, retail stores, ATMs and mobile pay points. Through these means, beneficiaries can receive their grants safely, without any risk of fraud.
With the increase in digitalization in 2025, it is being ensured that every payment reaches the right beneficiary. Therefore, beneficiaries are advised not to trust any unauthorized person or agency who may commit fraud in the name of getting money quickly or helping in the application.
Amount of disability grant—Top-up can be available in special cases
The monthly amount of disability grant to be given by SASSA in June 2025 has been fixed at R2,180. However, additional assistance or top-up can also be given to eligible beneficiaries in certain circumstances. This decision is taken considering the person’s condition, medical needs and financial circumstances.
This amount is important for those individuals who are unable to support themselves or their family due to permanent or temporary disability. Therefore, this effort of the government not only provides financial assistance but also becomes a symbol of social respect and security.
Documents and biometric verification are required for new applicants.
People whose applications have recently been approved or are to be reassessed have been advised to keep all their medical documents updated. This will prevent delays in the payment process and ensure that they receive their entitlement on time.
Biometric verification has also been made mandatory by SASSA in some areas. Its main purpose is to prevent fraud and ensure that payments are made to the right person. Through the biometric process, fingerprint or face recognition is used to determine whether the beneficiary is the person who has come to receive payment in his or her name.
Beware of fraud and fake agents
SASSA has once again warned the public to beware of fraudulent messages and fake agents. Many times such messages come up that promise people that they can get money quickly or make the application process easier—and ask for money in return. This is completely fake and illegal.
SASSA has clearly stated that the application and assistance for the grant are completely free. If anyone asks you for money or your personal documents, report them immediately and keep away from them. Your safety is also your responsibility.
