The aid, extended through June, is for low-income seniors and plan holders. How to know if it corresponds to you and use it.


Faced with record-breaking inflation, and hitting essential products squarely, there are those who can get a 

little relief

 thanks to official aid.

If they pay for basic purchases

with a debit card

, instead of using bills, the State will then

return 15%

of what they paid.

For example, if they use the plastic to 

spend $6,000

, they will receive a refund of

$900

.

If they pay

$10,000

at various businesses to bring merchandise home, about

$1,500

will return to their pocket.

And after paying

$27,000 

with debit throughout the month, there are those who will receive even more than 

$4,000 in returns

.

This is valid for consumption in 

supermarkets

, convenience stores,

warehouses

, kiosks,

butcher shops

, farms, fishmongers, greengrocers, bakeries and other retail and wholesale businesses that sell essential products

to

final consumers.

The benefit, arising from emergency law 27,541 and recently extended by the AFIP until June

30, 2022

, is not for everyone, but rather aims to alleviate

vulnerable

sectors such as lower-income older adults and holders of some 

plans social

.

To access the refund it is necessary to pay with a debit card instead of using cash.
