SASSA will stop giving grants to many South Africans after September 30 2025. The agency has made it clear that people who make too much money will not get social grants anymore. This change affects thousands of people across the country. SASSA wants to make sure that grants only go to those who really need them. Anyone who earns above the set income limit will lose their grant support. The agency plans to check everyone’s income status before making this change. This new rule helps SASSA focus on supporting the poorest South Africans.
Sudden Rule Change: Why SASSA Stopped Payments
SASSA wants to help poor people in South Africa with money support. These payments go to old people disabled citizens and families that don’t earn much. But SASSA workers think some people get money even though they earn too much already. They made their checking system better to stop this problem. Now people who make more than R8,070 each month can’t get SASSA payments anymore. This helps make sure the money goes to people who really need it. The goal is to give support to the right families that struggle with money problems.
Check If You’re On The List: Who Faces Grant Loss
The government will stop giving grants to people who earn more than R8070 per month. This will start from September 30. The rule affects these grants:
– Money for elderly people
– Money for disabled people
– Money for child care
– Money for foster children
Remember that the R370 SRD grant is different. This income limit does not affect that grant because it has its own rules.
Easy Steps To Track Your SASSA Status Online
SASSA wants all people who get grants to check if they still qualify. You can do this in a few ways:
– You can log in to the SASSA website to check your status.
– You can also go to a SASSA office near you and bring your ID.
– Make sure your bank details and income information are up to date so your grant doesn’t get stopped by mistake.

The Real Impact: Why Missing This Could Hurt
Social grants help many families survive. Losing these payments can put households at risk of money problems. The system works better when only people who truly need help can get support. This helps the government give more assistance to those who are struggling the most. Making sure grants go to the right people protects both the system and those who depend on it.
