The Citizen Social Security program (Daman) is one of the most prominent social protection programs in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, launched to empower the families and individuals most in need and to provide them with a decent standard of living. As 2026 begins, many beneficiaries are looking for clear answers about: How much is the social security amount per person? Who is eligible? How do I register? When is the pension paid? And what are the reasons for stopping it? In this comprehensive guide (updated 2026) we answer all of these questions in detail with examples and estimated figures.
What is the Citizen Social Security (Daman)?
The Citizen Social Security program is a government program that aims to support the families and individuals most in need directly, by providing a monthly cash pension calculated according to the family’s income, number of members, and their status. The program is supervised by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development, and it comes within the system of national transformation programs linked to Saudi Vision 2030. The core idea is to guarantee a minimum income for eligible groups and to empower them economically rather than relying permanently on support.
Citizen Social Security Eligibility Conditions 2026
To register in the program and benefit from the support, a set of basic conditions must be met by the applicant, the most important of which are:
- The applicant must be a Saudi national, with specific exceptions for certain categories such as the children of a Saudi woman and the wife of a Saudi citizen.
- Permanent residence within the Kingdom and not leaving it for long periods.
- Not residing in shelters, prisons, or similar government institutions.
- The family income must not exceed the disqualifying threshold set by the program.
- The accuracy of all data entered in the application, as it is subject to periodic verification.
Categories Eligible for Citizen Social Security
The Citizen Social Security program targets the groups most in need to achieve social protection, and it requires meeting the eligibility criteria and an income study. Among the most prominent eligible categories for social security support are:
- Low-income families.
- Eligible widows and divorced women who meet the conditions.
- Elderly people unable to work.
- Orphans.
- Persons with disabilities.
- Families that do not have a sufficient source of income.
How much is the Citizen Social Security 2026? (Examples and Scenarios)
The pension amount varies according to the number of family members and the total monthly income. It is calculated by adding a lump sum for the head of the household plus amounts for each dependent (adult or minor), then deducting the portion that exceeds the disqualifying income threshold. To illustrate, here are estimated scenarios showing how the pension changes by family size (the figures are hypothetical for illustration, and the official value is approved by the sbis.hrsd.gov.sa portal):
| Case | Members | Estimated Monthly Income | Estimated Monthly Pension* |
|---|---|---|---|
| Independent individual | 1 | Below the threshold | About 1100 SAR |
| Small family | 3 members | Below the threshold | About 2200 SAR |
| Medium family | 5 members | Below the threshold | About 3300 SAR |
| High-income family | Any number | Exceeds the threshold | Pension gradually decreases and may stop |
*These are hypothetical estimated figures to illustrate the calculation mechanism only and are not the official approved values. To find out the exact amount, use the calculator at the top of the page and then verify via the official portal.
