December 2023 Sassa Payments

December 2023 Sassa Payments Application

SASSA is an abbreviation for the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA). It’s the government agency in South Africa that handles social security services, including payments in South Africa. It also manages and administers grants and allowances to categories of people vulnerable to poverty and in need of state support to improve their standard of living.

The Bill of Rights in the South African Constitution (Section 24-29) recognises the socio-economic rights of citizens. Consequently, the government takes reasonable legislative and other measures within its available resources to achieve a progressive realisation of this individual right. It’s also worth noting that SASSA is administered by the SASSA Act of 2004.

SASSA manages and administers social security services to South African citizens and permanent residents with income and assets below specified thresholds. Primary caregivers, foster parents, the elderly, war veterans, and those with mental and physical disabilities are recipients of SASSA funding.
