How Much Must You Earn to Qualify for SASSA Grant
You can qualify for a SASSA social grant or the SRD grant if your financial situation meets the income requirements. SASSA calculates your income to determine eligibility. The income threshold is different for each grant type, including the Older Persons Grant, Disability Grant, Care Dependency Grant, Child Support Grant, and SRD Grant.
How Much Must You Earn to Qualify for SASSA Grant
SASSA grants are means-tested and follow specific income and asset thresholds as part of the eligibility criteria. To get approved for a Social Grant or the SRD Grant, your total earnings must stay below the income limits.
Important: In case your income increases above the threshold, SASSA can decline your grant application.
Check the current income thresholds for each SASSA grant type in the given table.
| SASSA Grants | Maximum Earning Per Year/Income | Maximum Monthly Earning/Income |
|---|---|---|
| Older Persons, Disability, War Veterans | R107,880 (single), R215,760 (married) | R8,990 (single), R17,980 (married) |
| Child Support Grant | R67,200 (single), R134,400 (married) | R5,600 (single), R11,200 (married) |
| Care Dependency Grant | R277,200 (single), R554,400 (married) | R23,100 (single), R46,200 (married) |
| Social Relief of Distress (SRD) | Not applicable for the SRD Grant | R624 for both single and married |
Important Note: Regularly check your balance and keep it under the threshold limit. This simple step helps you continue receiving your SASSA grant.
