Everyone’s talking about a supposed R1,400 monthly SASSA payment in April 2025—but is it legit? If you’ve seen posts on social media or heard whispers in your community, you’re not alone.

The good news is that we’ve got the facts for you. Whether you’re a first-time applicant or just keeping up with your benefits, this guide clears up the confusion, breaks down current SASSA grants, and shows how to avoid scams or missed payments.

Breakdown

$2,000 Fourth Stimulus Check Being Issued – Who’s Eligible and When Will It Be Deposited?

So, is there a new R1,400 grant? No. As of April 2025, no new standalone R1,400 monthly grant has been introduced by the South African government. But here’s where it gets interesting: households can still receive R1,400 or more monthly through a combination of existing grants.

Here’s what’s actually available in April 2025:

Origins

This number likely stems from combined grant amounts within a household. Let’s look at a few realistic examples:

• A parent getting Child Support Grants for two kids = R1,060
• Add a Foster Child Grant = total over R2,000
• Or combine SRD (R350) + Old Age (R1,050 partial month) = around R1,400
