💨 Abstract

South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) grant recipients are demanding transparency in how their monthly payments are calculated. Thavan Moodley, among others, has questioned the accuracy of the means test used by SASSA, which considers income and assets to determine eligibility and payment amounts. Recipients can request a written breakdown of the decision, but many feel the grants do not keep up with the cost of living. SASSA encourages those with concerns to contact their nearest office or call for assistance.
