New SASSA Grant Applications Now Open For June 2025

The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) has officially announced that new SASSA grant applications now open for June 2025. All SASSA local and provincial offices have begun accepting new applications nationwide. Millions of vulnerable people living in South Africa can now apply for SASSA grants and start receiving monthly support from the South African government.

SASSA Grant Applications Now Open for June 2025

With the June 2025 payment dates schedule already confirmed, SASSA has opened new applications for social grants for the month of June 2025. Eligible individuals who have not yet applied for any of the permanent SASSA grants can now submit their applications online or visit their nearest SASSA office for assistance.

This announcement is part of SASSA’s continued effort to ensure financial support reaches all qualifying South Africans, including older persons, children, and people living with disabilities, providing a lifeline for millions in need.

For June 2025, SASSA confirmed that all nine provincial offices and local branches are accepting grant applications. Applications are now open for all social grant programs, including Old Age, War Veterans, Child Support, Foster Child, Disability, Care Dependency, Child Support Top-Up, and Grant-in-Aid.

You can now apply for SASSA social grants by submitting a SASSA application at your nearest SASSA office. Online submissions are also available for those who want to avoid queues and complete the process faster. Additionally, SASSA confirmed that the Social Relief of Distress (SRD) program has opened applications for the R370 grant for June 2025, providing help for unemployed individuals.

Grant Eligibility Requirements for June 2025 SASSA Applications

New applicants must meet the specific eligibility criteria for the type of SASSA grant application or reapplication. Each social grant program has its own requirements that must be met to receive monthly payments. To be eligible for SASSA support, applicants must be South African citizens, permanent residents, or refugees legally residing in the country.

Grant qualification criteria include applicant age, income level, asset thresholds, marital status, and the number of dependent children. SASSA’s strict identity verification process may also require specific documents for proof to ensure that no individual can receive more than one grant or apply while living in a state-funded institution.

To receive monthly support, individuals who meet the criteria for permanent SASSA grants are encouraged to complete their grant application for June 2025. Once your application is processed and approved, you will be notified of your SASSA application status and be prepared to collect your grant payment in the June 2025 payout cycle.
