It’s important to remember that these ways are only for checking the balance of your SASSA Old Age Grant and not for checking the balance of any other SASSA grants. Also, it’s important to keep your personal information safe and not tell people you don’t trust about it.

How much is the SASSA grant for old people? All the info I need.

At the moment, the SASSA old age grant is R1,860 per month.
South African citizens and permanent residents over the age of 60 who meet certain requirements for income and assets can get the grant.

Recipients must also have a South African ID or smart ID card and can’t get any other social grants. The grant is paid every month and is looked at every year.
