What is the Means Test to Qualify for a Child Support Grant?
In order to qualify for a Child Support Grant the primary care-giver must pass a means test to see if the child is eligible for the grant. The asset threshold test is the same for all other grants but the income threshold differs.
(See: The means test for adult social assistance grants)

- A single person should not earn more than R39 600 per year or R3 300 per month
- A married couple’s joint income should not be more than R79 200 per year or R6 600 per month
