Garrafa social ANSeS: what is the new amount of the Hogar Program and how to request the benefit

The National Social Security Administration (ANSeS) credited its social benefits in June with the second annual increase established by the Pensioners’ Mobility Act. This increase has impacted other benefits, such as the Hogar Program, which has updated bottle purchase amounts.

“To continue to accompany the families who need it most and guarantee access to the gas service for Argentine families, Starting June 2022, we will increase the amount to $ 496.80 per bottle “, as reported by ANSES via www.anses.gov.ar. Those who access the Hogar program will be able to receive bottles of 10, 12 and 15 kg to people residing in areas without natural gas service.

Who belongs to the social bottle?

To people who live in areas with no natural gas service or that are connected within the home gas distribution network.

At soup kitchens, picnic areas, neighborhood clubs, day care centers and community centers across the country with no natural gas service and using bottled liquefied gas.
