  • Child Support Grant
  • Child Support Grant Top-Up

How to Apply

To apply for a permanent grant, visit your nearest Sassa office. If you're unable to do so due to age or disability, authorize a family member or friend to apply on your behalf.

Certain grants, such as older person, child support, or foster child grants, can be applied for online through the Sassa services website.

Checking Your Application Status

After submitting your application, you'll receive a reference number. Use this number to track your application status online if you applied digitally.

If you applied in person, it may take up to three months for your application to be processed.

If Your Application is Rejected

If your application is unsuccessful, Sassa will notify you in writing, explaining the reasons and outlining your appeal options. You can appeal the decision to the Minister of Social Development within 90 days of receiving the rejection notice.

Payment and Grant Suspension

Choose between direct bank deposits or payments through Sassa-appointed service providers. It's crucial to notify Sassa of any changes in your circumstances, such as address, marital status, financial situation, or child custody. Failure to do so may result in grant suspension.

Other reasons for suspension include changes in financial or medical circumstances, non-compliance with grant reviews, fraud, errors in grant approval, or missing documentation.

Reinstatement of Suspended Grants

To reinstate a suspended grant due to non-collection or failed review, reapply within 30 days of the suspension date.
