Gaming the Hafiz System | Crossroads Arabia

It?s only days old, but Saudi Arabia?s new unemployment compensation program, Hafiz is already being hit by scammers. Arab News reports that the names of 3,000 Saudis, unfortunately deceased, have found their way onto the rolls. Government-provided money is often seen as ?free? money. This is true all over the world. Dead citizens are also handy for gaming systems because they never complain. Good record-keeping is about the only way this blight can be addressed and it appears that the Saudi government is on top of things here.

JEDDAH: The names of around 3,000 dead people have been found in a list of those registered with the Hafiz unemployment assistance program, Labor Minister Adel Fakeih has said.

?It is regretful that some weak-minded people are trying to exploit the Hafiz system by stealing the identities of the dead. This unscrupulous practice was detected after verifying 12 databases shared by a number of government agencies,? he said.

The minister said some unemployed youths saw Hafiz as a social security scheme, Al-Eqtisadiah business daily reported on Wednesday.

?On the contrary, it is a system initiated by the ministry to support jobseekers by providing them training and making job opportunities available to them, in addition to extending financial support to them for a full year,? he said.
