The recent restrictions decreed due to the pandemic will
seriously harm
many people and companies that were already in trouble due to the economic crisis and inflation.
For this reason, in parallel to the closures, the Government detailed the changes it introduced in the
Repro 2
program
to assist companies to pay salaries.
The benefit consists of allocating an
individual and fixed sum of money
that will be paid to the workers on account of the payment of the salaries in charge of the employers adhered to the Program.
It is a
free procedure
that does not require intermediaries or managers.
What does it consist of?
How to carry out the procedure and who is authorized to do it?
In the first place, the Government incorporated into Repro 2
new sectors
to the so-called "critical activities", which will allow state aid for the payment of wages to reach up to
1.4 million workers
in businesses of
essential and non-essential items and centers of shopping
in the metropolitan area.
The maximum benefit amount increased from $ 18,000 to $ 22,000.

In addition, the coverage and amount for
self-employed monotax and self-employed workers

What is the amount of money that the sectors most affected by the restrictions will receive?
The maximum benefit amount increased from $ 18,000 to
$ 22,000
per employment relationship for employers in critical sectors and health.
This amount varies according to the sector in which the company develops its activities:

Critical: up to $ 12,000 (for temporary provision will be $ 22,000);
