ANSES confirms September 2026 AUH payments after 2.11% increase

Argentina’s National Social Security Administration, ANSES, updated the Universal Child Allowance, or AUH, for September 2026. The increase is 2.11%, based on the monthly mobility formula and formalized through Resolution 260/2026.

The standard AUH payment is now 154,031 pesos per child. When the 20% reserve applies, families receive 123,224.80 pesos monthly, while 30,806.20 pesos remains reserved. That amount depends on meeting health, vaccination and, where applicable, school attendance requirements.

Families with children up to and including four years old may receive the full amount automatically. Since March 2026, ANSES has been able to release the reserved 20% together with the monthly 80% when the Health Ministry’s data confirms that medical checks and vaccinations were completed. If ANSES lacks that information, recipients can prove compliance through the AUH booklet.

The AUH for children with disabilities rose to 501,537 pesos. Where the reserve applies, the monthly payment is 401,229.60 pesos, with 100,307.40 pesos reserved. There is no age limit for a child with a disability as long as the eligibility conditions are met.

Higher rates apply in Zone 1, covering La Pampa, Río Negro, Neuquén, Chubut, Santa Cruz, Tierra del Fuego, Antarctica and the South Atlantic Islands, as well as the Buenos Aires district of Patagones. The payment there is 200,241 pesos per child and 651,998 pesos for a child with a disability. The Milk Supplement under the First 1,000 Days Plan also increased, reaching 58,098 pesos.
