Hafiz allowances to be disbursed earlier this month

The director general of the Saudi Human Resources Development Fund (Hadaf) said this month’s Hafiz unemployment allowances will be disbursed on the 27th day of Ramadan (Aug. 15), eight days earlier than usual.

Ibrahim Al-Muaiqel said the reason for the date change was so beneficiaries could take advantage of the money before Eid.

Al-Muaiqel said Minister of Labor Adel Fakieh is following up the procedures for disbursing the allowances for Ramadan. Al-Muaiqel called on young jobseekers to be serious and resilient in their search for the right job.
