Citizen’s Account clarifies impact of expiring lease on next payment

The Citizen’s Account program has clarified the status of beneficiaries whose rental contracts have expired, and whether this affects their eligibility for the upcoming payment.

Does an expired lease affect the next Citizen’s Account payment?

A beneficiary asked the Citizen’s Account program whether the expiration of a lease contract would impact the next payment. The program responded that data is verified by the 10th of each Gregorian month, and eligibility for the following month is determined accordingly. If eligibility status is "eligible" as of August 20, 2026, and the beneficiary qualifies, support will be provided on September 10.

Citizen’s Account payment date

Regarding the September 2026 payment (batch 106), the program confirmed that support is disbursed on the 10th of each Gregorian month, or a day before or after if it falls on a weekend. The 106th payment will be made on Thursday, September 10.

What causes a reduction in support?

The program listed several reasons that may affect the support amount, including:

An increase in total household income

Ineligibility of a dependent

The main beneficiary or a dependent being outside the Kingdom for more than 90 days

Beneficiaries can check the reason for any reduction in support by accessing the “Financial Payments” section of their account, or by using the eligibility calculator on the program’s website.
