Citizen’s Account explains how to declare new dependent income

The Citizen’s Account program has outlined the steps for declaring a dependent’s income after they start a new job, clarifying the impact on family support and whether it will be discontinued.

Declaring dependent income

A beneficiary asked the Citizen’s Account program whether family support would be affected if a dependent began working in a new job. The program clarified that this does not affect eligibility.

The program emphasized that if a dependent has income, it must be declared and will be included in the total household income. If the head of household meets the eligibility criteria, they will continue to receive support. To check the amount of entitlement, beneficiaries can use the estimated support calculator at portal.ca.gov.sa.

Declaring irregular income

The Citizen’s Account program also explained how to declare irregular income, stating that if the income is not fixed, the average monthly amount should be entered.

It added that any additional income must be declared, and if the eligibility criteria are met, the applicant will be included in the support.

The program stressed that assets are evaluated by checking their value with official and accredited authorities, including the value of real estate, vehicles, cash assets, investment portfolios, and the number of domestic workers.

Citizen’s Account support payment schedule

The Citizen’s Account program has set the schedule for support payments to new applicants, stating that eligibility and entitlement criteria are reviewed and results are announced monthly.

A beneficiary asked about the payment date for new applicants. The program confirmed that if the application was submitted on September 10, eligibility will be reviewed and the applicant will be notified of their status by checking the “Eligibility” section in their account during the November eligibility cycle.
