Common questions
Direct answers
How much is the old age grant in the 2026 release?
R2,400 per month for ages 60–74 and R2,420 from age 75, effective 1 April 2026.
How much is the SRD grant?
R370 per month in the released 2026 rule data.
Will SASSA grants increase again in 2026?
Do not rely on a grant-increase headline alone. Check the effective date for the named grant; this release already records the Foster Child Grant change scheduled for 1 October 2026 and will only add another increase from an official source.
Are payment dates shown here?
No. Amounts and payment schedules are maintained separately because their update cycles differ.
