  "account": "The Saudi Social Security and Empowerment account has clarified the process for issuing retroactive payments to beneficiaries following the approval of their financial appeals or complaints. According to the announcement on X, these payments are automatically made with the pension for the month following the acceptance of the appeal or complaint, eliminating the need for beneficiaries to submit a separate request for the payment.\n\nTo review payment details and retroactive amounts, beneficiaries can log in to the Social Security platform by navigating through the main menu, selecting Support Programs, and then choosing the Social Security Beneficiary Support Program. From there, they can view their payment details, including the value of any retroactive amount that is due. This clarification aims to simplify the payment process for beneficiaries and provide greater transparency regarding the distribution of retroactive payments following the approval of their appeals or complaints.",
