This post has information on Sassa awards for the 2024-2025 monetary year.

Those in need receive social assistance from the South African government. In South Africa, social grants are managed by the SASSA. Government handouts are given to people who are about to go hungry and need help raising their standard of living. Usually, these are elderly people, parents of young children, and people who have disabilities. Only South African citizens, lawful permanent residents, or refugees are eligible to receive social grants. They must also be South African citizens.

What is a means test?

• There is a “means test” for 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 if 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

Care dependency grants may be available to parents with disabled children who are full-time workers. What amount of money will be distributed overall as part of this grant?

• R1 860 per child, per month.

How do you know if you’re approved for the grant?

• The child must be under the age of 18 and medically deemed permanently disabled in order to be eligible for the care dependency award. The means test can only be passed if both you and your spouse meet the requirements. You will find assistance with your Sassa application in the following articles.
