Frequently Asked Questions

Can I receive more than one grant?

Generally, you cannot receive more than one social grant for yourself. However, caregivers can receive grants for multiple children (e.g., Child Support Grant for each child), and Grant-in-Aid can be added to qualifying primary grants.

How long does a grant application take?

SASSA aims to process applications within 90 days. However, processing times may vary depending on the type of grant and completeness of your application.

What is the means test?

The means test assesses your income and assets to determine if you qualify for a grant. Different grants have different income and asset thresholds.
