The Citizen Account Program announced the release of eligibility results for beneficiaries for the 100th cycle, corresponding to March 2026. This announcement represents a continuation of the regular government support aimed at protecting Saudi families from the effects of economic reforms. The program clarified that beneficiaries can easily check their eligibility status by visiting the program's official website or through its dedicated smartphone application.
To check eligibility results, beneficiaries can follow a few simple steps, starting with logging into their personal accounts through the Citizen Account Program's online portal . After entering their national ID number and password, they will be directed to the "Eligibility Review" section, where they can view the details of their result: "Eligible," "Not Eligible," or "Under Review." If the result is "Not Eligible," the program allows beneficiaries to submit an appeal within 90 days of the result's issuance, provided they attach supporting documents that substantiate their appeal.
General context and historical background of the Citizen Account Program
The Citizen Account Program was launched in December 2017 as one of the key initiatives of Saudi Vision 2030. This national program aims to redirect government support to reach eligible groups directly and effectively. The program was established to address the economic challenges resulting from structural reforms adopted by the Kingdom, such as adjusting energy and water prices and implementing value-added tax (VAT). The program seeks to alleviate the financial burden on low- and middle-income Saudi families, ensure a decent standard of living for them, and enhance the efficiency of government spending.
The importance of the program and its expected impact
The importance of the Citizen Account Program lies in its role as a vital social safety net that contributes to family and community stability. Locally, the monthly financial support enhances citizens' purchasing power, positively impacting the local economy. Regionally, the program serves as a leading model for direct cash support programs adopted by countries to protect their citizens during periods of economic transition. With the program's continuation and the completion of its 100th payment, it underscores the Saudi government's unwavering commitment to supporting its citizens and ensuring they are not negatively impacted by the comprehensive development the country is witnessing. This strengthens trust between citizens and the state and supports long-term social stability.
