The National Administration of Social Security (ANSES) reported that holders of the Universal Child Allowance (AUH) may not receive an additional $145,000 if they do not complete an essential procedure. The entity announced that it will liquidate all March benefits with a 2.2% increase, according to the Consumer Price Index (CPI) of January.
For beneficiaries who have not yet completed the corresponding management, ANSES granted an extension that will allow them to collect the total withheld in 2024 if they meet the requirements. Among these requirements are the national vaccination calendar, the submission of the school certificate, and the annual medical visit.
ANSES withholds 20% of the benefit as a guarantee that these conditions, known as the AUH Booklet, are met. During the year 2024, the amounts withheld each month ranged from $8,264 to $18,656, totaling $143,723 for this year.
It is important for AUH beneficiaries to present the AUH Booklet with the health section validated by an official health center that confirms compliance with vaccination requirements, as well as the school certificate. This procedure can be carried out through the Mi ANSES application or the official platform of the organization with the Social Security Key until March 31, although ANSES has extended this deadline.
The payment of AUH in March will include an increase, and the amounts withheld in 2024 will be paid to those who present the AUH Booklet, differing according to the category of the beneficiary. The payment schedule for March will vary according to the last number of the ID of each holder, with only one interruption for national holidays.
