A question was submitted to the official customer service account of the Citizen’s Account program by a follower, asking: "Can a grandmother add her grandchild as a dependent, and what is the procedure?"

The Citizen’s Account responded on its X platform page, stating that a grandchild can be added as a "dependent under care" by providing the required documents, such as a guardianship deed or proof of custody.

Required procedure for urgent data changes

The Citizen’s Account program has specified the necessary steps for urgent changes to beneficiary data.

The program added, via its "Customer Service" account on X, that if there is any change in a beneficiary’s income data, they must log in to their account.

The Citizen’s Account program continued, stating that the beneficiary should then click on the "Beneficiary File, General Data" icon, update the income information, and save it. The data will then be reviewed, verified, and eligibility reassessed.
