What is a SASSA Grant?

Before we dive in, let’s quickly go over what a SASSA grant is. The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) gives money to people who need help. This includes support for kids, people with disabilities, and the popular R370 Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant.

Why Would You Cancel Your SASSA Grant?

People stop their SASSA grants for different reasons:

  • You got a new job
  • You’re making more money now
  • You don’t need the help anymore

Whatever your reason, it’s important to cancel your grant properly. This helps you avoid problems later, especially if you want to apply for government jobs.
