💨 Abstract

In April 2025, the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) quietly increased the asset and means limits for social grants. These limits vary depending on the type of grant, with 'core' grants like Older Person, Disability, and War Veterans having higher thresholds. Grants like Childcare and SRD only have a means test without an asset component. More stringent income verification processes have been implemented since May 2025.
