How this checker works
South Africa's social grants each target a different situation - being unemployed, being older, living with a disability, or raising children. People miss out simply because they don't know a grant exists for them. This checker takes a few basic facts about your age, residency, income and household and matches them against the broad rules for each grant, so you know which ones are worth applying for before you spend a morning in a queue.
It is deliberately conservative and simple. The real grants are decided by a full means test - SASSA adds up your income and assets and compares them to a threshold that changes most years. So treat this as a starting point, not a verdict. If the checker suggests a grant, read the linked guide for the exact documents and steps; if it suggests nothing, it can still be worth a free call to SASSA on 0800 60 10 11, because the rules may have shifted in your favour.
Everything you enter stays in your browser. Nothing is saved, logged, or sent to us or to SASSA - this tool cannot submit an application on your behalf, and no website that asks you to pay a fee to "register" for a grant is legitimate.
