This report offers in-depth information on SASSA Online 2024–2025.

• South African citizens in need receive social grants from the government. In South Africa, SASSA is in charge of social grants. Social grants are available to people who are at risk of falling into poverty and require government assistance to improve their standard of living. The elderly, people with disabilities, and parents with young children are frequently among these. A South African citizen, legal permanent resident, or refugee must apply for a social grant (proof of such status must be provided). They must be South African citizens as well.

What is a means test?

• A “means test” is applied to some social benefits, including child support, disability, care dependency, and social relief of distress. Based on your income and assets, SASSA will use the means test to determine whether you qualify for a social grant. Your eligibility for a grant intended for people who cannot afford to live independently is determined by the means test.

Care dependency allowance

Grants for care dependence may be available to parents with disabled children who work full-time. What total amount of funding will be distributed as part of this grant?

• R1 860 per child, per month.

How do you determine if you qualify for the grant?

• To be eligible for the care dependency grant, the child must be under the age of 18 and permanently disabled, as determined by a medical officer. If you’re married, you and your spouse must both meet the minimum eligibility standards for the means test. The articles below will assist you with your Sassa application.
