AIA question was submitted to the official Citizen’s Account beneficiary service account, asking: "If my husband’s salary is high but all of it goes to loan payments, leaving us only 500 riyals, and we have no dependents, why are we not eligible for Citizen’s Account?"
Citizen’s Account responded on its X (formerly Twitter) page, clarifying that loans and financial obligations are not considered in the income assessment.
The program added that the main applicant should be the head of the household, who will receive the support. Eligibility details can be checked at https://Portal.ca.gov.sa.
