You’ll be able to receive the Child Support Grant from the government for as long as you comply with the requirements or until the end of the month when the child turns 18 years old. Therefore, if you stop complying with the requirements, such as the income requirements, you won’t receive child support anymore.

Suppose you don’t agree with the judgment on the application result. In that case, you can appeal formally to the Minister of Social Development at the Department of Social Development’s headquarters in the nation’s capital. If your application is denied, you have 90 days from the day you were notified to file an appeal.

You’ll need to meet the government requirements to get approved to receive the Child Support Grant. For example, you must be the child’s primary caregiver, be a South African citizen or permanent resident, and meet the income requirements. Moreover, the child also needs to meet some requirements. So, if you and your child don’t meet some of the official requirements, you may not get approved for a child support grant.
