Listen up, mommy! We know times are tough and jobs are scarce.
If you are not working or do not earn enough money every month to buy your baby clothes and other important items, you may qualify for the CHILD SUPPORT GRANT (CSG). If you do qualify, you can get the child support grant from when your baby is born.
You must get it as early as possible, as this will help support the baby’s development.
These are the things you need to bring when going to apply for a child support grant at your nearest SASSA centre:
🪪Your ID card
📃Your Child’s Birth Certificate. Remember, you must register your baby's birth before they turn one month old.
📄A police affidavit that states that you are unemployed or do not earn enough money.
Please remember that only the caregiver who stays with the child will be allowed to apply for the Child Support Grant.
