Citizen Account: Eligibility Results for Cycle 100 and How to Check Online
The Citizen Account Program announced the release of eligibility results for beneficiaries for cycle 100, corresponding to March 2026. This announcement represents a continuation of the regular government support aimed at protecting Saudi families from the economic impacts of the Kingdom's ongoing reforms. The program clarified that beneficiaries can easily check their eligibility status by accessing the official online portal via this link , or by using the program's mobile application.
General context of the Citizen Account program
The Citizen Account Program was launched in December 2017 as a key government tool to achieve the social protection goals of Saudi Vision 2030. The program serves as a social safety net to mitigate the potential burdens on citizens resulting from structural economic reforms, such as adjustments to energy and water prices and the implementation of value-added tax (VAT). The program is based on the principle of directing government support precisely and efficiently to those most in need, rather than the previous untargeted, blanket subsidies that burdened the state budget and benefited those not entitled to them.
The importance of the program and its expected impact
Domestically, the Citizen Account program plays a pivotal role in enhancing the social and economic stability of low- and middle-income families. By providing monthly cash support, the program contributes to increasing citizens' purchasing power, which positively impacts the revitalization of the local economy. The program also enhances the efficiency of government spending by ensuring that support reaches its intended beneficiaries, with the support amount determined based on precise criteria including the number of family members, their ages, and their total income. Regionally and internationally, the Citizen Account program is considered a successful model for implementing direct cash support programs and a pioneering experience that other countries seeking to implement similar economic reforms can learn from. It highlights the Kingdom's commitment to achieving sustainable economic development while not neglecting the humanitarian aspect and providing a decent life for its citizens.
