Information on Sassa grants for the fiscal year 2024–2025 is presented in this report.

The South African government provides social assistance to those in need. The SASSA is accountable for overseeing social grants in South Africa. People who are about to go hungry and need assistance raising their standard of living receive government handouts. These are typically the elderly, parents of young children, and those with disabilities. Social grants are only available to South African citizens, legal permanent residents, and refugees. Additionally, they must 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 be deemed permanently incapacitated by a medical professional in order to be eligible for the care dependency award. If you’re married, both you and your spouse need to meet the means test eligibility requirements. You can use the articles on this page to assist you with your Sassa application.
