ANSES began paying the benefit with a 2.11% update. Beneficiaries also receive the Alimentar Card, which is added automatically from the third month of pregnancy.
The National Social Security Administration launched in September the payment of the Pregnancy Allowance for Social Protection, with a 2.11% increase applied to the allowances, according to Crónica.
According to that outlet, the gross amount of the benefit was set at $154,031. Of that amount, ANSES deposits 80%, that is $123,224.80 per month, while the remaining 20%, equivalent to $30,806.20, is withheld until the end of the pregnancy and is paid after presenting the health documentation and the birth certificate.
Crónica noted that beneficiaries automatically receive the Alimentar Card from the third month of pregnancy, provided the pregnancy is registered in ANSES records. In September, that additional amount is $72,250, so the monthly income to be collected can reach $195,474.80 between the credited allowance and the food supplement.
According to that outlet, eligible recipients include pregnant unemployed women, informal workers, social monotributistas or domestic workers. They must also prove residence in Argentina, be enrolled in the Sumar Program and comply with the established medical checkups.
