About Us
Who we are, what this independent guide does, and what it never does.
Who we are
This is an independent website that explains SASSA grants in plain language. We write step-by-step guides, summarise official announcements, and point you to the official services you need. We started this site because SASSA’s own pages can be hard to follow — and because lookalike scam sites make it easy to land in the wrong place.
What we do — and what we never do
We do
Explain status checks, payment dates, eligibility, appeals and banking in plain language, and link to official sources.
We never do
Take applications, check statuses, approve grants, pay money, or ask for your ID number, PIN or OTP.
How we work
We aim to link every important fact back to an official source you can check yourself before you act. Grant rules, dates and amounts change, so we update pages when SASSA announces changes — and we say so on the page when a date is provisional. If you spot an error, tell us on the contact page. Please also read our disclaimer and privacy policy.
Need official help with your own application?
Use only the official SASSA portal, visit a SASSA office, or call the SASSA toll-free line on 0800 60 10 11. Always confirm contact details on sassa.gov.za. This website cannot see or change your application.
