Free tablets for retirees, monotributists and more Anses beneficiaries: how to do the procedure

In addition to economic support, a national program is offering free tablets to pensioners and retirees so that seniors and other vulnerable sectors can access these devices and exceed the limit imposed by the technological gap.

The National Communications Entity’s (Enacom) Connecting with You program aims to promote access to tools that contribute to social inclusion, inclusion and development through the use of information and communication technologies (ICT). .

It is expected that in the first phase of the plan, approximately 140,000 devices and that number is expected to increase due to the acceptance it has generated and the number of people who have signed up to receive these devices.

The beneficiaries of these screens are retirees and pensioners of the Argentine Integrated Social Security System (SIPA). Delivery began in the early days of last November. To prevent these devices from breakage and blows, they are protected by a very resistant rubber frame.

The benefit is extended to their children or those in their custody and between 16 and 18 years of age. Holders of Universal Child Allowance (AUH) and Universal Pregnancy Allowance (AUE) are also added to the list.

The only requirement to access the tablets for retirees and retirees is to receive a total salary less than or equal to the two Minimum, Vital and Mobile Salaries (SMVM). To find out the requirements, you need to enter the official site.

However, Enacom’s Connecting with You program has no instance of registration through their websitebecause its application and distribution is carried out in conjunction with the various municipal, provincial and jurisdictional instances of each region.

The plan aims to promote the participation of social sectors in a situation of greater social vulnerability and improve access to digital technologies. The program consists of the delivery of a tablet and, if necessary, the interested party will also receive training in its use.

The Connecting With You plan is valid for two years, counting from April 22, 2021. Although it could end earlier if all available devices are delivered.
