Anses Family Allowance: This is the amount of family benefits in August 2026 with the official increase

Holders of Argentina's family allowances, managed by the National Social Security Administration (Anses), will receive a 1.89% increase in their monthly payments starting in August 2026. This adjustment aligns with the 1.9% inflation rate recorded in June, reflecting a mechanism designed to keep these benefits in line with rising living costs.

The Asignación Familiar por Hijo (Family Allowance per Child), distinct from the Universal Child Allowance (AUH), is designated for employees in dependent relationships, holders of work risk insurance, monotributistas (self-employed individuals with a simplified tax regime), temporary and rural workers, and pension system beneficiaries, among others. The specific amount received depends on the family's total income, with a cap on individual earnings within the group to qualify for the benefit.

The article provides a detailed breakdown of the August 2026 allowances. For a standard Family Allowance per Child, monthly payments range from $75,431.40 for family incomes up to $1,146,199, down to $15,879.58 for incomes between $1,940,783.01 and $6,069,688. Allowances for children with disabilities are significantly higher, reaching up to $245,595.95 for families within the lowest income bracket. Prenatal and maternity allowances follow a similar tiered structure based on income.

Payments for single events, such as birth, adoption, marriage, and spouse allowances, are also detailed. For instance, the birth allowance can reach $87,925.24 for families with incomes up to $6,069,688, while adoption allowances are substantially higher at $525,680.06. The article also notes that recipients residing in southern regions must opt for a bank branch to receive a corresponding additional benefit, with payment method choices becoming effective 60 days after being requested.
