Grant recipients may obtain their funds at any time following the payment date (the B money will still be there, even if you do not draw it out on the exact payment date).

About the Grant

You can get a grant to see you through your old age. An older person’s grant is paid to people who are 60 years of age or older. This grant used to be called the old-age pension.

How do you know if you qualify?

You must:

• be a South African citizen, permanent resident or refugee
• live in South Africa
• not receive any other social grant for yourself
• not be cared for in a state institution
• not earn more than R86,280 if you are single or R172,560 if married.
• not have assets worth more than R2 227 600 if you are single or R2 455 200 if you are married.

How much will you get?

The maximum amount that you will get is R1,980 per month. If you are older than 75 years, you will get R2 000.

How will you be paid?

The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) will pay the grant to you through one of the following methods:

• cash at a specific pay point on a particular day
• electronic deposit into your bank or Postbank account (the bank may charge you for the service)
• institutions (e.g., an old age home).

Note: If you are unable to collect the money yourself, you can appoint a procurator at the SASSA office, or give someone power of attorney to collect the grant on your behalf.

You might be wondering when you will get your grant payment if your application for the Older People Grant, the Disability Grant, or the Children’s Grant was accepted. The payment dates for these 3 specific grants are listed below (other types of social grants are paid shortly after these grants).
