- South Africa’s government provides social handouts to needy individuals. In South Africa, the SASSA is in charge of social grants. People who are on the verge of going hungry and want government support to improve their standard of living can apply for social subsidies. These frequently include the elderly, people with disabilities, and parents with young children. You must be a South African citizen, lawful permanent resident, or refugee to be eligible for a social grant (proof of such status must be provided). They must also be South African nationals.
A means test is what?
- 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 compensation
Parents with disabled children who work full-time may be eligible for care dependence grants. What is the total amount of money that will be distributed as part of this grant?
- per month, per child, is R1 860.
How do you determine if you’re eligible for the grant?
- The child must be under the age of 18 and permanently disabled, as determined by a medical officer, in order to qualify for the care dependency grant. If you’re married, both you and your spouse need to be at least as eligible as the means test allows. You can use the articles listed below to help you with your Sassa application.
NOTE
- The eligibility requirements for recipients of social assistance programs have changed. Mrs. Lindiwe Zulu, Minister of Social Development, indicated that certain Social Relief grant boundaries will be altered to allow persons who were refused to collect their awards, including previous months (declined months). Even if your account contains more than R350, you will still be permitted as long as you do not work. More details will be released later.
- If your status is Approved and you have a Payment date, you now have more alternatives for collecting payments at Merchant /Retail stores: . Checkers, Usave, Shoprite, Pick ‘n Pay, and Boxer Clients must bring their identity credentials and a cellphone with access to the number they registered with when applying for the grant when they visit a retail shop to receive the funds. A withdrawal confirmation message will be issued to the registered number that was used on application.
