ANSES Updates Family Allowance Parameters for April 2026

The National Social Security Administration (ANSES) has updated the parameters of the Universal Family Allowance System (SUAF) for April 2026, directly impacting thousands of dependent workers. The new income limits determine who continues to receive the benefit and who is excluded from the system, as confirmed to the Noticias Argentinas agency by the official body. The pension agency conducts monthly controls by cross-referencing data with the Federal Administration of Public Revenues (AFIP) and employer records to ensure no family member exceeds the limits set by current regulations. To continue receiving family allowances under the SUAF, the following values must be respected: Individual cap: no family member can exceed a gross income of $2,801,551. Family cap (CGF): the combined income of both parents must not exceed $5,603,101. ANSES emphasizes that if a single member exceeds the individual cap, the benefit is automatically lost for the entire family without exception. While many recipients received the automatic payment in March, those who did not must present the Certificate of Schooling. The procedure can be done online through the official ANSES website or in person at the agency's offices. The only exception applies to children with disabilities, for whom maximum caps do not apply. How the system works and what happens when limits are exceeded The SUAF operates on a tiered system: the higher the income, the lower the amount paid per child. However, there are three possible scenarios regarding salary changes: Total loss of benefit: if the individual cap is exceeded. Temporary suspension: when limits are exceeded in a specific month, for example, due to a bonus or aguinaldo. Progressive reduction: if the salary increases but remains within the allowed ranges. For this reason, ANSES recommends that workers periodically check their status on the Mi ANSES platform, as even a slight salary increase can modify the amount received or lead to the loss of the benefit. School Aid: how to access the $85,000 Another key point for SUAF beneficiaries is the annual School Aid, which in 2026 amounts to $85,000.
