Why the current source matters

Old articles and social posts can continue ranking after a threshold changes. Check the current official SRD declarations, regulations or SASSA guidance before making a decision based on a number.

If your result says income source identified

Read the exact decline reason and use the official appeal process if you believe the decision is wrong. Keep evidence relevant to the period in question.

Frequently asked questions

Why is there no permanent number on this page?

Because the threshold is a policy figure and should be shown only after current primary-source verification.

Sources and verification

Dates, eligibility, funding and application rules can change. Re-check the provider or government source before applying.
