Mr L W Greyling (ID) to ask the Minister of Social Development:
Whether, with reference to the extension of the child support grant to 18-
year olds, her department will gazette an amendment to the regulations of
the Social Assistance Act, Act 13 of 2004, for public comment before 31
December 2009; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, when?

REPLY:
Yes, the regulations made in terms of the Social Assistance Act, Act No. 13
was gazetted for public comments on 27 November 2009 in Government Gazette
No 32747. However, due to time constraints, the period for commenting is
very short since the implementation of the extension of the child support
grant must begin on or after 1 January 2010.
