The parents of
some 800,000 boys and girls will stop collecting Family Allowances.
It is because, as
Clarín
reported , the national government
reduced the income limits that entitle
formal workers to collect these Family Allowances, such as the family salary per child, prenatal and annual school aid, among others, according to the Decree of Necessity and Urgency 194/2024.
This year it was expected that the parents of 4,782,604 boys or girls would receive the family salary per child.
Now it is estimated that the parents of almost 4 million would collect it.
In turn,
the values of those who continue to receive
these Family Allowances will have
a strong reduction
in relation to inflation because
they will increase between March and May by 27.18%
(the same as pension mobility) when in the first quarter inflation could be around 50%.
Until now, for example, the family salary per child was $20,661, $13,934, $8,426 and $4,345, according to the Total Family Income
up to the limit of $3,960,000,
with different values for some Provinces and localities.
From now on, the aid will be as follows:
If the family income
does not exceed $406,909 ,
$26,277
will be charged per child ,
27.18% above the current $319,947 and $20,661, respectively.
If the family income
exceeds $406,909 and up to $596,776,
$17,722
will be charged per child
, 27.18% above the current $319,947 and up to $469,237 and a benefit of $13,934.
If the family income is
between $596,776 and $689,000,
$10,717
will be charged per child
, up from $469,237 and up to $541,751 and the current benefit of $8,426.
Finally, if the total family income is greater than $689,000 and up to $2,154,806, $5,526 per month will be charged per child.
So far, it is between $541,751 and up to $3,960,000 and $4,345 is charged.
The monthly income limit, which was $1,980,000 and is now modified, was established based on the
15 Minimum, Vital and Mobile Wages (SMVM) to be eligible or not for the Income Tax.
On the other hand,
now DNU No. 194/2024 establishes that “
the new income limit of the family group
that determines the collection of Family Allowances
was calculated by applying the mobility
corresponding to the month of December 2023 and that established for the month of March 2024 on the value corresponding to the month of September 2023.”
In September 2023, the Earnings cap was $700,875.
To this value is added the mobility of December (20.87%) and March (27.18%), which gives $1,077,403.
And for father and mother it amounts to $2,154,806, although one of them receives the family salary as long as it does not exceed the individual limit.
In March, these values increase 27.18%, but ANSeS must establish the new family income ranges based on the reduction of the limit.
Family Allowances are, among others, for birth, adoption, prenatal, child, child with a disability.
And it is granted to Workers in a Dependent Relationship,
to the Holders of the benefit of a Work Risk Insurance Company (ART) who are not under a dependent relationship, to Retirees and Pensioners of the Argentine Integrated Pension System - ANSeS and to the Holders of the South Atlantic War Veterans Honorary Pension.
