The deposit rule
- The 1st of each Gregorian month into the breadwinner's bank account.
- Friday and Saturday: in the 2026 cases the deposit came on the Thursday before, so some months have two payments (December 2026, April and September 2027).
- Eid: the ministry announces early payment case by case.
- Eligibility results: reviewed monthly and published between the 25th and 27th.
To estimate the amount use the social security calculator, and for other dates the monthly payment calendar.
