Most programmes require in-person registration at your local government office, social welfare office, or Huduma Centre (Kenya) / SASSA office (South Africa). Bring valid ID, proof of residence, and proof of income/household status.
Generally no — most countries have rules against double-dipping (receiving multiple cash grants simultaneously). However, some combinations are allowed (e.g., a child support grant and a disability grant in South Africa).
