More and more workers stop collecting family wages per son or daughter. And this happens because the Government, despite the very high inflation, still not updating the limit that entitles you to collect this benefit. That limit remains unchanged at $ 158,366 in gross salary when, at August values, it should be $ 252,653.
ANSeS clarifies: “If a member of the family group receives a gross amount exceeding one hundred and fifty eight thousand three hundred and sixty-six pesos ($ 158.366, -), the family group is excluded from collecting family allowances”.
The wage loss per child occurs because the government has updated the child allowance in line with inflation, exclusively for employees in a dependent relationship with gross family income of less than $ 131,208 per month (grade 1). In those cases, the family salary per daughter or son went from $ 10,126, in effect since October 2021, when an extraordinary bonus was approved, to $ 20,000.
For the rest of the workers, if any member of the family group earn less than $ 158,366the amount of the family salary according to the mobility formula, this year in November increased by 49.2% against an estimated inflation of 90% for the last month. A loss of over 40 points.
For example, those with family income between $ 131,209 and $ 192,432, the child allowance drops to $ 6,830, provided that no member of the family group earns more than $ 158,366.
This cap, which is updated once a year, between the months of October, according to the RIPTE (Taxable Remuneration of Permanent Workers) remains unchanged when from that month to August 2022 that wage index increased by 59.5%. That limit should be $ 252,653.
Therefore those who receive a salary increase or improve their income may have a nominal reduction in the benefit and if it exceeds the maximum limit ($ 158,366) it directly stops receiving the family allowance, going to receive less than workers with lower wages. Here’s what’s going on.
