Article 7 explained in plain English
This article regulates how the housing support application is submitted and the information connected with it:
- The application is submitted in the way the Ministry sets; the Regulation did not specify a particular method but left it to the Ministry of Housing.
- The applicant must give the Ministry all the information and documents it requests.
- The Ministry may coordinate with government and private bodies to obtain any information or document concerning the applicant or his family members, or to verify the validity of what he submitted.
- The Ministry may also coordinate with government bodies to ensure it continues to receive any update to that information and those documents, a wording added by Council of Ministers Resolution No. (74) dated 30/1/1438 AH.
The practical meaning is that the applicant's data is not fixed at the moment of submission, and updates about it may reach the Ministry from government bodies. This article is therefore linked to Article 8, which suspends the application procedures if the circumstances of the applicant or his family change so that the application's requirements are no longer met. The wording suggests that the applicant's duty is not limited to submitting what is asked once, since the Ministry may ask for additional information or documents while studying the application, and he must provide them.
Practical example
Fahd submitted a housing support application, and the Ministry asked him for documents concerning his family members. Fahd must provide them, and the Ministry may also verify their validity by coordinating with government and private bodies.
