Social Security pensions for September 2026 (cycle 57) are being deposited into beneficiaries' bank accounts on Tuesday, 1 September 2026, corresponding to 19 Rabi‘ al-Awwal 1448 AH. Deposits begin at the start of the day and appear during the same banking day, subject to each bank's posting times.
Civil, military, and social insurance retiree pensions are also paid on the first day of each Gregorian month, including 1 September 2026. Eligibility for the September 2026 cycle was announced on 27 August 2026.
How to check eligibility and deposits
Beneficiaries can verify their eligibility and entitlement for September 2026 through the Social Support and Protection Platform by logging in via National Access (نفاذ), selecting "My Support Programs," choosing the Social Security program, then opening "Eligibility and Entitlement" to view the current month's payment and status.
To confirm a deposited pension, beneficiaries can use the online social security inquiry service and enter their national ID and social security number to view deposit and payment details.
For retiree pensions under the General Organization for Social Insurance (GOSI), online services allow beneficiaries to view the pension amount, number of contribution months, average monthly wage, payment status, dependants, and the paying bank. They can also review previously paid amounts and update bank account information electronically if there is no active bank commitment.
Payment rule and upcoming dates
The standard rule is to deposit monthly support on the 1st of each Gregorian month. If the 1st falls on a Friday, payment is moved forward to Thursday, with similar adjustments for weekends or holidays. Upcoming dates for 2026 are: October pensions on Thursday 1 October, November pensions on Sunday 1 November, and December pensions on Tuesday 1 December.
