The government is finalizing the determination how to implement the new bonus reaching at least 13 million people among informal workers, low -level monotax workers and retirees.

For the bond to materialize, the first step is to publish law of regulation where you work. Once that text appears in the Official Gazette, the registration process will begin.

AnseS confirms that to receive the $ 18,000 bonus, Informal workers must register on the agency’s website. The process will only be online, but the form is not yet available. It is expected to be published in the next few hours.

The $ 18,000 bonus will go to informal workers, monotributists of categories A and B, social monotributists and family home workers.

There will also be a $ 12,000 bonus for retirees earning up to two minimum wagesbut in this case they will no longer have to register because they will be charged it the same way they receive their monthly benefit.

The body reported under the direction of Fernanda Raverta that the collection of this “reinforcement of income” is compatible with Universal Child Allowance (AUH), the Pregnancy Allowance (AUE), the Unemployment benefit, the Enhance Work plan and is registered with the National Registry of Popular Economy workers. It also applies to recipients of provincial and municipal food plans.

However, this has been made clear the assignment will not be automatic. “In order for the income booster to effectively reach the citizens where this measure is implemented, AnseS will evaluate the patrimonial, socioeconomic and consumption situation of applicants, ”they said in a statement.

To date it is still not detailed how this assessment will be conducted on the purchasing power of the applicants.

The new bond will have 44% more beneficiaries than the 2020 IFE, but a lower purchasing power: in this case it covers only 26% of the main food basket, against 58% reached by the previous benefit.

Emergency Family Income (IFE) was implemented in 2020, at the start of the pandemic and quarantine. He has three installments of $ 10,000 each. In April 2020 covers 58% of the main food basket, where INDEC measures the line of indigence for a family with four members. that basket arrived $ 34,334 in the February measurement of this year.

The poverty and indigence basket for March will be released this Thursday. Inflation of 6.7% last month, with food rising 7.1% in the month, expect a strong jump in the basket.

Now $ 9,000 of the first installment of the new bonus they cover 26% of the main food basket.

Clearly, the current scenario is very different in 2020. At that time, strict incarceration and the impossibility of doing odd jobs left a large portion of the informal population without income, hence the expectation of IFE is very high.

Two years later, employment is recovering, albeit at a slower rate among informal workers, but real income is reduced by 55% inflation in the last twelve months.

IFE has reached 9 million people. Like this bonus, it includes informal workers, monotributists and beneficiaries of the AUH-AUE and/or the Progresar program. The latter automatically receives the Revenue in the bank account they use to withdraw the allocation.

Other beneficiaries will need to complete the digital procedure prior to ANSes as well open a free bank account. This last procedure was delayed amid the pandemic and at least a million people ended up in personal collection at the post office.

Now Almost the entire adult population has some type of bank account, so the process will be more difficult at this time.
