How To be a Child Grant Beneficiary
You can apply for the grant if you are the child’s primary caregiver, which can be a parent, grandparent, or anyone else who is mainly responsible for the child’s well-being.
To qualify for the Child Support Grant, both you (the caregiver) and the child must meet certain criteria. Sassa will assess your eligibility through a means test, which considers your income.
The caregiver must be a South African citizen or permanent resident.
Earn R61,200 or less per year if single. If married, your combined income must be under R122,400 per year.
If not the child’s biological parent, provide proof of being the primary caregiver. This could include an affidavit from a police officer or the biological parent, a social worker’s report, or a letter from the child’s school principal.
The child must be under 18 years old, not be in the care of a state institution and live with the primary caregiver, who is not paid to look after the child.
Both the child and caregiver must live in South Africa and you cannot receive the grant for more than six non-biological children or if someone else is already receiving a grant for the child.
