Social Assistant Act Amendment

Sassa has recently amended the Social Assistant Act which enables orphans and vulnerable children to benefit more as they previously did. The benefits come as a top up for the Child Support Grant.

According to the statement issued by the South African Social Security Agency, The Social Assistance Amendment Act specifically seeks amongst others to make provision for additional payments linked to social grants which includes, the implementation of the extended Child Support Grant (CSG) policy for orphans in the care of relatives (CSG Top-Up).

How much is Child Support Grant 2022?

Currently, the Child Support Grant is R480 per eligible child; however R240 will be added for orphans and vulnerable children who qualify. This is called Child Grant Top-up. The Minister of Social Development will address the nation about SRD Grant and CSG Top-up on 10 October 2022.

How much is added for the Orphans and Vulnerable children?

This policy intervention empowers the Minister of Social Development, in concurrence with the Minister of Finance, to make provision for a top up of 50% more on the child support grant for orphans in the care of relatives who are eligible for the CSG. These children will receive their basic CSG which is currently R480 plus an additional amount of R240 (50% of the basic CSG), bringing the total amount to R720.

This is not a new grant but rather builds on the existing Child Support Grant system in a form of a “top-up” amount.

The Child Support Grant is one of government’s most successful social protection interventions for children living in poverty. The CSG Top-Up will expand on this successful programme with a focus on the most vulnerable children – orphans living with adult relatives and orphans living on their own in child-headed households, who will now be able to access the benefit for themselves. This policy expands child care and protection for these vulnerable groups of children.

How to Top-up Child Grant?

In order to receive this benefit, applicants will be required to prove that a child is an orphan by providing:

“(a) certified copies of the death certificates of the child’s parent/s; or

(b) where the death certificate of one of the parents of the child cannot be obtained by the applicant, a certified copy of the death certificate of one parent and an affidavit by the applicant attesting to the unknown status of the child’s other parent.”

How to Apply for Top-up?

Caregivers who are eligible can now apply for the CSG Top Up at any of SASSA local offices and online as of 01 June 2022.

Applicants will also be able to track the status of their applications using the online portal. Notifications of the outcome of their online application will be sent by SMS or email.

    Why not give each child that gets child grant… Some of those orphan children. Hardly get anything from their money… Many mothers only spend the child grant on their children
