Terms of Service

By using this site you accept that it provides general information about South African social grants, not legal, financial or personal advice; that it is independent of SASSA; and that every decision about a grant is made by SASSA under its own rules. These terms explain what that means in practice.

Is this advice?

No. Pages describe how grants, applications, statuses and appeals work in general. They cannot account for your individual circumstances. Whether you qualify, and what you should do, depends on facts only you and SASSA have. For a decision about your own case, use SASSA's official channels listed on the contact page.

Is this site connected to SASSA?

This site is an independent information platform and is not affiliated with SASSA or any South African government department. SASSA and the South African government have not reviewed or endorsed anything here. This site cannot access, check, change or influence any grant application. Anyone claiming otherwise in its name is not acting for it — see the disclaimer.

How accurate is the information?

Every effort is made to keep it accurate and current, following the process on how we verify. Grant rules and amounts change, sometimes at short notice, and a page may lag behind an official change. Always confirm anything that affects money or a deadline with SASSA before acting on it. No liability is accepted for loss arising from reliance on the site.

Links to official SASSA and government pages are provided as citations. Those sites have their own terms and privacy policies, and their content may change after a link is added. We are not responsible for external content.

Why are there adverts?

Advertising served by Google pays for the site. Adverts are chosen by Google's systems, not by us, and an advert appearing here is not a recommendation. Nothing on this site is sponsored, and advertisers have no say in the content — see the editorial policy. How advertising cookies work, and how to opt out, is in the privacy policy.

The text and images on this site are the copyright of Secure The Grant unless stated otherwise. You may quote short extracts with a link back to the page. Republishing whole pages, or presenting the content as your own, is not permitted. Facts about grants are not owned by anyone; the way they are written here is.

Which law applies?

These terms are governed by the law of the Republic of South Africa, and any dispute is subject to the jurisdiction of its courts.

Can these terms change?

Yes. When they do, the Updated date at the top of this page moves. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the new terms.
