South Africa Social Security Agency (SASSA) has announced the payment dates of the major grants. The SRD grant payout date for November 2025 is not out yet. The recipients can find the expected payment date, status, and other details here.
The Social Relief of Distress has provided temporary support to unemployed people since the pandemic. Now, the government is thinking of making it a sustainable long-term income support. Millions of people receive this grant every month to survive the increasing cost of living.
SASSA recipients can check the SRD status to be sure whether they are receiving the payout or not. The agency has kept the system transparent with verification and various methods to reach out to them. The payout for the SRD remains the same; there is no increase like other grants.Â
When can you expect the SASSA SRD Grant for November 2025?
SASSA announced the payment for each month, as there is no fixed date; however, based on past trends and announced dates, the major grants are processed in the first week of the payment month, whereas the SRD is paid in the last week.
According to SASSA official channels, the Older Person grant, disability grant, and children grant payment dates have passed for November 2025, whereas for SRD, it is not confirmed yet.
So, from the SASSA announcement and past trends, here is when you can expect your SASSA SRD November 2025 grants:
- SRD Grant: Expected between 24Â and 30 November 2025
How much will you receive under the SASSA SRD in November 2025?
The South African government increased SASSA grants in October 2025; however, SRD remains the same due to the fiscal issues. The government has expressed earlier that they have no plan for increasing the SRD payment, as they are working on making it a sustainable option for income payment.
So, the SRD recipients would receive the same amount of R370 for November 2025 until the government announces a change in the payment. The payment is for unemployed people who do not receive other forms of assistance from the government or income.
