What Is The SASSA Means Test?

SASSA Means Test

The South African Social Security Agency(SASSA) has been in the business of giving out grants in various forms for years to South Africans and it has become mandatory for applicants to pass a required Means Test before grants are released to them.

The SASSA Means Test helps in determining who is eligible or not for a particular grant being applied for. This initiative was introduced to sanitize the application process also and determine the approval of the grants especially the SASSA R350 grant.

The SASSA Means Test was introduced by the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) as a way to evaluate the asset and income eligibility of the SASSA grant applicants. It is done to ensure that applicants who deserve the grants receive them and not disburse the grant to just anyone who applies.
