Both programs had an increase at the beginning of April in relation to their original budget. Between the two programs they already generate a cost of $7,167 million per day.
Almost $8 billion of the more than $20 billion initially planned has already been accrued. The former Potenciar Trabajo has a direct impact on more than 1.2 million beneficiaries, despite the staff cuts carried out by the Government due to a series of irregularities detected in collection in recent months. In recent days, almost $120,000 million were awarded to these items. In the case of Empower Work, even though it is now subdivided by the Return to Work and Social Support sub-programs, $20,644 million were added to the item. The most emblematic case, as happened in the presidency of Alberto Fernández, are the resources destined to pay for social plans, the two star programs, and the Alimentar Card, which already had to be reinforced.
