Sassa provides financial relief to poor and vulnerable South Africans. To access this financial relief, beneficiaries will often be required to fill out forms so that their application can be complete, or if they want to request to change something.

The South African Social Security Agency, also known as Sassa, has been issuing grants to poor and vulnerable citizens in the country since 2005. As a result, these grants have become the main source of income for many South Africans. 

If you are applying to benefit from one of Sassa's grants, then you may have to gain access to some forms to do so. These forms will differ according to the grant you are applying for. 

Most application forms must be completed in the presence of Sassa Officials which means that you must visit your nearest Sassa offices to gain access to them. The R350 Covid-19 Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant can, however, be applied for online. 

Apply online for the SRD Grant via the SRD online portal. Upon reaching the portal, select your manner of citizenship. You will have a choice between selecting under the South African ID Holders or the Asylum Seekers and Special Permit Holders. 

For every Sassa grant you will have to complete and sign a declaration and consent form. This is done so that Sassa has your permission to have your information validated and shared with other organisations and financial institutions such as the South African Revenue Service (Sars) and banks.

The declaration and consent form for the SRD Grant is available here. The other grant declaration and consent forms should be accessed in-person, when the applicant applies for the grant.

If you are applying for disability grants, Sassa requires a medical review which states that you are temporarily unable to work due to a medical condition. The time in which this must be updated differs for the different disability grants. 

This form will have to be downloaded and you must take it along to the doctor who will perform the medical assessment so that they can fill it out and sign it. Access the Medical Assessment: Referral Form here.

If you want to request to receive your grant payment through a personal bank account, instead of your Sassa/South African Post Office (Sapo) bank account, then you must fill out a form called the Sassa Annexure C Form. This form is applicable to all grants except the R350 SRD Grant. 

This form must be printed out, taken to your bank to be filled in and stamped and then it must be submitted to a Sassa local office so that it can be captured. Download the Sassa Annexure C bank form here. 

If you wish to submit a Grant Customer Support Request in which you ask questions concerning the grant that you are currently on, then you must download a form to do so. The form must be completed by typing the information in the relevant spaces and cannot be completed in pen.

After completing the form with the correct information, click "Email" to open the email page and then click "SEND" on the email page. Download the Grant Customer Support Request form here.

If you are a South African citizen who qualifies for a Sassa social grant, then submitting an application is the first step. You will, however, be required to complete and submit an application form and provide supporting documents.
