r350 sassa grant 2023-2024

The government of South Africa offers social aid to those in need. The SASSA is responsible for overseeing social donations in South Africa. Those who are at risk of going into poverty and who need government aid to raise their standard of living may be eligible for social grants. Parents with small children, those with disabilities, and the elderly are commonly included. An applicant for a social grant may be a citizen of South Africa, a recognized permanent resident, or a refugee. They must also be South African nationals.

What is a Means Test?

Several social benefits, such as those for child support, disabilities, caregiving, and the reduction of social suffering, are subjected to a “means test.” SASSA will carry out a means test to determine your eligibility for a social grant based on your income and assets. If you meet the criteria for a grant intended for people who cannot afford to live independently, the results of a means test will be used to determine your eligibility.

Care dependency compensation

Grants for care dependency may be available to parents of handicapped children who are employed full-time.

What total amount of funding will be distributed as part of this grant?

R1 860 per child, per month.

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

The child must be under the age of 18, have a chronic disability as determined by a medical professional, and be eligible for the care dependency award. If you are married, both you and your spouse must meet the minimum requirements to be eligible for the means test. By reading the articles below, you can get assistance with your Sassa application.
