350 sassa 2023-2024

The South African government gives social subsidies to assist its citizens in need. The SASSA is responsible for managing social grants in South Africa. If a person is in risk of being hungry, social subsidies are offered to them in order to help them enhance their standard of living. The elderly, those with disabilities, and parents of small children often fall into this category. Social handouts are only available to South African citizens, lawful permanent residents, and refugees (proof of such status must be provided). Additionally, they must be South African nationals.

What is means test?

There is a “means test” for several social benefits, including child support, disability, care dependence, and social alleviation of suffering. In order to determine your eligibility for a social grant based on your income and assets, SASSA will use the means test. The means test establishes your eligibility for a subsidy intended for people who cannot afford to live independently.
