Interviewer instructions
Social grant
Read out: I'm now going to ask about social grants that each person may be receiving. By social grants, we mean financial assistance given by the government to people who have no other means of support or income.
(P-24) Social grant: Does (the person) receive any social / government grant?
This question must be answered for all persons listed on the flap.
A social grant is financial assistance received from the government.
If the answer is "No" code 2 or "Do not know'" code 3, Go to P-26.
(P-25) Type of social grant: What type/s of social/ government grant does (the person) receive?
Ask only if "Yes, code 1" to P-24. If the person receives any social / government grant, record which he/she receives. There may be more than one answer.
Read out list from questionnaire and mark the appropriate boxes with an X.
[p.50]
Old age grant - money received from government as a grant to men (65 years or older) and women (60 years or older) who have no other means of financial support.
Disability grant - grant received from government by adults (men 18-64 years old and women 18-60 years old), who are classified as disabled and who have no other means of financial support. To qualify for this grant, a person must submit a medical or assessment report confirming disability. Note people with diseases such as HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, cancer, etc., who have been proven through a medical assessment as unable to work for a certain period, qualify for a disability grant.
Child support grant - this is a Government grant given to children (0-11 years old) in underprivileged families. NB: This grant linked to a child and should be indicated on the column meant for the child.
Care dependency grant - money received by disabled children (1 - 18 years old).
Foster care grant - money given to adults who are looking after children from orphanages for a certain period of time, usually legally stipulated. These are not adopted children, but fostered ones.
Grant in aid - this is an additional grant awarded to persons who are in receipt of other grants e.g. old age grant, disability, war veterans, etc., and who are unable to care for themselves and have someone looking after them on a full-time basis.
Social relief - a temporary provision of financial assistance intended for persons in such dire material need that they are unable to meet their or their family's most basic needs, e.g., people who have lost their possessions through natural disasters like floods or fires etc.
