Understanding SASSA Grants and Eligibility Criteria

Financial challenges can be overwhelming, especially when caring for children or dealing with disabilities. The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) provides crucial grants to individuals and families in need. Let’s delve into the details of SASSA’s Child Grant and Disability Grant, along with eligibility criteria.

SASSA Old Grant & Eligibility 

Those who are sixty years of age or older and are unable to work for pay are eligible to receive this stipend. Individuals who are above 75 will earn R2 100 per month, while those who are 60 to 75 years old will get R2 080 each month.

SASSA Child Grant & Eligibility

If you find yourself in need of financial support to raise your child, a SASSA Child Grant may be available to you. To qualify, you must pass the means test and be the primary caregiver for the child, whether you’re a parent, grandparent, or a responsible child over 16 heading the household.

– Each child is entitled to receive R500 per month.
– If you are the primary caregiver for an orphan, you will receive R750 monthly (comprising the R500 Child Support Grant and a R250 top-up).

Foster parents providing care for orphaned, abandoned, abused, neglected, or endangered children placed in court care qualify for grants, receiving a monthly support amount of R1,120 per child.
