The National Social Security Administration (ANSES) will resume its payment schedule on Tuesday, August 18, following the interruption caused by the public holiday on Monday. The pause in banking activity has concentrated upcoming payments between Tuesday, August 18, and Friday, August 21, distributed according to the identification document number of each beneficiary, as is the organisation's standard practice.
This week payments will continue for pensioners and retired people receiving up to the minimum benefit, as well as holders of the Universal Child Allowance (AUH), Family Allowance for Children and Universal Pregnancy Allowance (AUE). For retirees and pensioners whose benefits do not exceed the minimum, the schedule will be: ID numbers ending in 5 on Tuesday, August 18; 6 on Wednesday, August 19; 7 on Thursday, August 20; and 8 on Friday, August 21.
In August, pensions and retirement benefits received an increase of 1.89% due to monthly mobility adjustments. Additionally, beneficiaries receiving the minimum benefit receive an extraordinary bonus of 70,000 pesos. Holders of the Universal Child Allowance and Family Allowance for Children will follow the same payment schedule as minimum-benefit retirees, whilst the Pregnancy Allowance (AUE) also resumes this week.
Other allowances do not follow a single date in August. The Maternity Allowance has its payment period available between August 11 and September 11, as do the Single-Payment Allowances for Marriage, Birth and Adoption, whose beneficiaries may collect during that period regardless of their identification document number.
The August 17 public holiday does not change the amounts of benefits but does cause a pause in the schedule. Payments resume on Tuesday, August 18, and will continue throughout the rest of the week according to each beneficiary's ID number.
