The enhanced social security program issued important clarifications for beneficiaries regarding the correct procedure for assigning dependents to the households registered in the unified file, emphasizing the need for accuracy in data to ensure the continued disbursement of support and avoid suspension of eligibility. These directives come as part of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development's efforts to ensure data quality and guarantee that support reaches those who are truly entitled to it.

Steps for assigning dependents in the unified file

The program clarified via its official account on the "X" platform that assigning a dependent to their actual residence is a crucial step when filling out the unified file data, warning against registering a dependent in more than one residence. The correct steps are as follows:

Log in to the social support and protection platform using the unified national access.
Go to the unified file and select the "Manage Homes" icon.
Review the list of dependents registered in the account.
Drag and drop or select the dependent to assign it to the correct home where it actually resides.
Ensuring that the registered national address of the house matches the actual address.
Save the changes and submit the request for approval.

Types of dependents in the social security system

In a related context, the program identified the categories that fall under the name "dependent" that can be added to the support request, as follows:

Close relative: This includes first and second degree relatives (father, mother, husband, wife, children, brothers, and grandparents).
Recommended dependent: This is a person who is under the legal care of the family, such as a foster parent.
Co-occupier: This is the person who shares accommodation with the primary beneficiary without a familial relationship, and is registered to ensure the accuracy of the home eligibility study.

The importance of digital transformation and the goals of Vision 2030

This measure is part of the Kingdom's digital transformation strategy under Vision 2030. The "Unified File" aims to consolidate all family data into a single electronic system, facilitating automated and accurate eligibility assessments. This system contributes to reducing human error and expediting disbursement procedures, thereby enhancing the efficiency of the social safety net.

The Ministry is continuously working to update the developed social security mechanisms to be more flexible in responding to changes in the social and economic status of families, with a focus on empowering beneficiaries and transforming them from individuals in need of support to productive individuals who contribute to the national economy.

Achievements of the Ministry of Human Resources in the labor market

On another front, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development achieved significant progress during 2025, with its localization strategies successfully increasing the number of Saudis in the private sector to 2.5 million citizens, contributing to a record low of 7.5% in the unemployment rate. The Ministry also succeeded in transitioning nearly 100,000 social security beneficiaries from dependency to productivity through training and empowerment programs, reflecting the success of the Kingdom's sustainable development policies.
