Argentina's AUH August Payment Schedule Released; DNI Ending in 5 Paid Aug. 18

Beneficiaries of Argentina's Universal Child Allowance (AUH) whose national identity document (DNI) ends in the number 5 are scheduled to receive their August payments on Tuesday, August 18. This date is part of the payment calendar released by the National Social Security Administration (Anses) for the eighth month of the year.

The August payments for social benefits, including the AUH, will see a 1.89% adjustment. This increase aligns with the inflation rate recorded in June, which stood at 1.9%. Anses applies these monthly updates based on precise inflation percentages to ensure benefits keep pace with rising costs.

For August, the AUH payment amounts have been set. The standard Universal Child Allowance will be $120,675.30 pesos. Those receiving the AUH for a child with a disability will receive $392,935.68 pesos, and the Allowance for Pregnancy will also be $120,675.30 pesos. A remaining 20% of the benefit is held back until recipients submit the Libreta AUH, which verifies school attendance and healthcare for the children.

The AUH is designed for mothers, fathers, or legal guardians who live with minors under 18 and meet specific requirements. Currently, the program supports approximately 2.5 million families, benefiting around 4.3 million children across the country. The calendar details payment dates for all DNI endings, ensuring a structured distribution of these essential social funds.
