Sassa also provides various forms of social assistance, including grants for older persons, persons with disabilities, child support and foster care grants.
Sassa is responsible for the application, approval and distribution of social grants to beneficiaries across the country. The agency plays a crucial role in providing support to vulnerable individuals and families in South Africa, and assists them in affording basic goods and services.
These grants are distributed on a monthly basis.

If Sassa tell you that you cannot receive a grant you are able to ask for an appeal about your Sassa grant status.
If you meet the eligibility criteria, you can apply for a social grant from Sassa online.
