  "account": "Citizen’s Account clarified the eligibility criteria for dependents who choose to register independently. The program explained that if a dependent registers separately and meets the necessary eligibility requirements, they will be entitled to support. However, the dependent’s presence will not increase the overall support amount received by the family. The support amount is determined by factors such as family composition and the total declared income. To determine one’s support eligibility, individuals can utilize the estimator tool available at http://portal.ca.gov.sa. Additionally, Citizen’s Account addressed the declaration of Hafiz income, stating that if a dependent receives income from Hafiz, it must be declared under the government programs, support, and allowances category, with the source specified as Hafiz program allocation. This declared income will be incorporated into the total income calculation for the program’s support assessment.",
