Saned: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how Saned provides monthly financial support for employees in Saudi Arabia who are transitioning between jobs.
Saned is a national support system designed to provide financial assistance to employees who are currently transitioning between jobs.
Who it's for
This scheme is specifically intended for employees who find themselves between roles. If you were previously employed and are now in a period of transition before starting your next position, you may be eligible for this support. It serves as a social safety net for those navigating the gaps in their employment history.
What you get
The benefit consists of monthly financial support. This is provided to help ease the transition and provide stability while you are not receiving a regular salary. Please note that this support is provided for a limited period of time rather than indefinitely.
What it costs you
To qualify for these benefits, you must have a history of employment contributions. Specifically, you must have made previous contributions to the General Organization for Social Insurance (GOSI). This requirement ensures that the support is available to those who have been part of the formal employment and contribution system.
The catch to know
The most important thing to understand is that this support is meant to assist you in returning to the workforce. You cannot simply receive the payments while remaining unemployed; you must be actively seeking new employment to remain qualified for the scheme.
How to apply
- Confirm that you have the required previous contribution history with GOSI.
- Visit the official GOSI website to review the specific eligibility criteria.
- Navigate to the support section to begin your application process.
- Follow the prompts on the portal to submit your details for review.
