  "account": "The Citizen’s Account program in Saudi Arabia provided guidance on adding new dependents and clarified the timeline for their eligibility for support. A follower asked via the program's X (previously Twitter) page about the process for adding dependents and the waiting period before they become eligible.\n\nThe Citizen’s Account program responded on their X page, detailing the steps to add a dependent. Users can log into their account, locate the beneficiary profile, and then select the option to add dependents. If a dependent is added after September 10, their eligibility will be reviewed. Program officials informed on X that the result of this review will be communicated by checking the account during the November eligibility cycle.\n\nAdditionally, the program addressed how to report unstable or fluctuating income via their official beneficiary support account on X. For such cases, the average monthly income over the past 12 months should be entered. The program stressed that any additional income must be disclosed. If a user meets the eligibility criteria, they will receive the support.",
