Citizen’s Account clarifies support rules when dependent registers independently
Saudi Citizen’s Account program explains what happens to family support if a dependent registers as an independent beneficiary.
A Saudi Citizen's Account program has explained that a dependent's job does not impact eligibility for support, but the dependent's income must still be reported and counted as part of the family's total income. Responding to a query on social media, the program made clear that a dependent's employment does not affect their eligibility for assistance. However, any earnings the dependent makes must be disclosed and will be included in the household's overall income.
The Citizen's Account program also noted that if a dependent gets married, they will no longer be eligible for support under the main beneficiary's account. The program stated that once a marital status is marked as "married," the eligibility status automatically changes to "ineligible" within the head of household's or father's account.
Previously, the program had stressed the importance of the main applicant including all dependents in their support information to ensure they maintain eligibility and receive the correct amount of support.
