Residents who require social assistance can receive it from the South African government. In South Africa, social handouts are governed by the SASSA. Social grants may be available to those who require assistance from the government to improve their standard of living and who face the possibility of falling into poverty. The elderly, those with impairments, and parents of young children are frequently included. A South African citizen, a permitted permanent resident, or a refugee must apply for a social grant. They must also be citizens of South Africa.

What is a Means Test?

A “means test” is applied to some social benefits, such as those for child support, impairments, caregiving, and the alleviation of social misery. Your income and assets will be used in a means test by SASSA to evaluate your eligibility for a social grant. The outcome of a means test will determine your eligibility for a grant designed for people who cannot afford to live independently.

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