Who Can Claim SASSA Funeral Benefits
SASSA does not provide funeral benefits, as state-funded funerals in South Africa are administered by other organizations. If you require funeral coverage, it is recommended to consider options from private insurance companies, social services, or municipalities.
Following the passing of a SASSA beneficiary, it is important to note that SASSA will not automatically provide social grants to other family members unless they have applied separately. However, the full SASSA grant will be paid for the month in which the beneficiary passed away. Additionally, SASSA may offer social relief grants to assist with various expenses, including those related to deceased beneficiaries.
Recipients should be aware that SASSA provides assistance and grants for basic needs such as food, shelter, and clothing. For financial coverage related to funerals, it is necessary to seek help from alternative sources.
