About MySASSA
Important Disclaimer
MySASSA (mysassa.co.za) is an independent information website. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA), the Department of Social Development, or the South African government in any way.
Our Mission
Millions of South Africans depend on SASSA grants for their basic survival. Yet finding clear, accurate, and up-to-date information about these grants can be surprisingly difficult. Official government websites can be hard to navigate, call centre wait times can be long, and misinformation spreads quickly on social media.
MySASSA was created to bridge this gap. Our mission is to provide clear, accurate, and accessible information about SASSA grants to help South Africans understand their entitlements, navigate the application process, check their grant status, and stay informed about payment dates and policy changes.
We write in plain language, avoid jargon, and structure our content to answer the questions that real people are asking. Every piece of information on this site is researched and verified against official SASSA sources.

Editorial Policy
We take accuracy seriously. Our editorial process ensures that the information we publish is reliable and current:
- All grant amounts, eligibility criteria, and payment dates are sourced from official SASSA announcements and government gazettes.
- Content is reviewed and updated regularly, particularly when SASSA announces changes to grants or payment schedules.
- We clearly state when information is provisional or has not yet been officially confirmed (for example, the upcoming BIS grant details).
- We do not publish rumours or unverified information from social media.
- Each page includes a 'Last Updated' date so you can see when the information was last verified.
- We correct errors promptly when they are brought to our attention.
