AIA question was submitted to the official Citizen’s Account beneficiary support account, asking: "I am the head of a household and my son is at university. Is his stipend included in my income, or is it unrelated?"
Citizen’s Account responded via its X platform page, clarifying that student stipends are considered part of household income and must be disclosed.
The program emphasized that applicants should select the employment status "student" in the (beneficiary file - income sources) section, declare the university stipend by choosing "government programs, support, and stipends" as the income type, and "government support program" as the income source, then add and save the information.
