Social grants are paid out at the start of each month. The first payments go to people who get HIV/AIDS support foster care money and old age pensions. For October 2025 older people can expect their money around October 3rd. Other grant types will be paid in the days after that. The same thing happens in November with payments going out in early November. People who get grants should watch for updates because payment dates can be different based on where they live and what type of grant they receive.
