The opportunity to purchase savings in dollars is renewed and 25,000 people have already given up on subsidies

Although the ban on purchasing savings in dollars has not yet been formalized for all those who manage to withhold subsidies for electricity, gas and water tariffs, those interested in continuing to buy the monthly quota of 200 US dollars voluntarily renounce aid. social. . 25,000 people have already taken advantage of the cancellation option of the RASE form.

As confirmed by the National Electricity Regulatory Body (ENRE). About 25,243 users who signed up to keep the energy subsidies decided to unsubscribe from the benefit.

The option to delete the module was enabled at the beginning of the week after confirming, the previous week, that those withholding grants would soon be barred from acquiring the dollar at official value.

On Tuesday, the new regulator of Enre, Walter Martello, assured that many people in need of subsidies still have to fill out the form and said – in dialogue with UrbanaPlay – that they will go looking for them.

According to the agency’s estimates, of the 11.5 million households located throughout the country, 7 million were registered in the Register of access to energy subsidies (RASE) and another 4 million who are estimated to need the subsidy but have not yet completed the form. Added to this are the 4 million that the government knows will totally lose state aid.

This Wednesday, August 31st, the official dollar is shown at $ 145 on sale, which it rises to 239.25 dollars for those who want to buy the so-called savings dollarif you add up the taxes of 30% (Country Tax) and 35% for the withholding tax.

How do I opt out of tariff subsidies?

To cancel the request for electricity, gas and water, it is necessary to register in the Energy Contribution Access Register (RASE). In the second scroll there are the options:

• Fill out the form e Edit or delete the request.
• then go to the section “Modify or cancel the request”.

Last week, Agustín D’Attellis, director of the central bank, also said that, in parallel, When they implement this ban, they will look at other measures that prevent people from buying dollar savings.

There were prohibitions “Stretched over time” such as the one that prevents those who received part of the salary from buying savings in dollars through the Production and Labor Assistance Program (ATP), the program of assistance to companies and workers that was in place during the isolation due to the pandemic of 2020.

“As long as someone gets some kind of subsidy, the ability to buy dollar savings is cut off.”D’Atellis told FM Urbanaplay last week.

Therefore, the BCRA would not need to enact any new regulations, since Communication A 7105 of September 2020 is in force, when it officially prohibited the purchase of foreign currency to beneficiaries of social assistance plans or programs, including food subsidies. those with access to AUH, Emergency Family Income (IFE) and employees whose employers have requested the payment of wages from ATP.

The authorities of the body chaired by Miguel Pesce are working on the intersection of databases with the Secretary of Energy, led by Flavia Royón, where they now have the information on consumption and the level of wealth of the Rase module.

It is not yet clear how many people will be reached by the changes, but the limitation will not affect those who lose benefits.

In June, some 885,000 people asked for dollars at the “savings” or “solidarity” price of $ 241 million, the highest level since February. And in the year, $ 1,511 million, according to the entity’s data.
