Beneficiaries of Argentina's "Prestaciรณn Alimentar," commonly known as the "Tarjeta Alimentar," will receive the same amounts in July 2026 as they did in the previous month, following a June adjustment. The benefit's value is determined by family size and composition.
Sources from Capital Humano confirmed to LA NACION that the July figures will mirror those from June. The amounts vary significantly based on the number of children or dependents. Families with one child or pregnant individuals receive $72,250, while those with two children get $113,299. Families with three or more children receive the highest amount, $149,425.
This assistance program is automatically credited by the National Social Security Administration (Anses) and is disbursed along with other primary benefits. There is no separate payment schedule for the Tarjeta Alimentar; its distribution aligns with the main benefit's monthly schedule. The funds are strictly designated for the purchase of food and non-alcoholic beverages.
The program targets vulnerable groups, including parents with children up to 17 years old receiving the Universal Child Allowance (AUH), pregnant women receiving the allowance for pregnancy, individuals with disabilities receiving AUH, and mothers with seven or more children receiving Non-Contributory Pensions. Anses automatically grants the benefit by processing internal records, eliminating the need for special applications, provided personal data is kept updated.
