SASSA Old Age Grant, often known as the Old Age Pensioners Grant, is a monthly allowance provided to citizens, legal permanent residents, and refugees aged 60 or above who lack alternative sources of income. This subsidy aims to provide financial aid to our senior citizens who are no longer able to engage in employment.
