Article 13 of the Saudi Job Search Allowance Regulation

This article regulates issuing the implementing rules of the job search allowance regulation:

• The issuing body: “the Council”, which under Article 1 is the board of directors of the Human Resources Development Fund.
• Agreement: it issues them in agreement with the National Development Fund, so the Fund's board does not act alone.
• The period: within 90 days of the date the Regulation is published, which is the same period after which the Regulation takes effect under Article 12.

The implementing rules are of great importance in this Regulation, which appears even in the definitions article (Article 1), which refers to the implementing rules to determine monthly income, wealth and training. The meaning of these terms, which are essential in determining who is entitled to the allowance, is therefore not complete without the implementing rules.

For this reason, knowledge of the beneficiary's rights and obligations is not complete without consulting the implementing rules alongside the Regulation. Note that requiring the agreement of the National Development Fund means the implementing rules express the agreement of two bodies, not the decision of one.
