  • Argentina's National Social Security Administration (Anses) increased the Universal Child Allowance (AUH) by 2.58% in June, aligning with April's inflation rate.
  • The updated monthly payment for AUH is $115,944.04, with a higher amount for recipients with disabilities.
  • A remaining 20% of the allowance is withheld until families submit the AUH Notebook, verifying school and healthcare attendance for minors.

Beneficiaries of Argentina's Universal Child Allowance (AUH) will see a 2.58% increase in their June payments, reflecting the country's inflation rate. The National Social Security Administration (Anses) announced the adjustment, which aligns with the 2.6% inflation recorded in April.

The standard AUH payment for June will be $115,944.04. A higher rate of $377,530.06 is designated for AUH recipients with disabilities. The Allowance for Pregnancy also receives the same updated amount.

However, 20% of the total allowance remains withheld. This portion is released only after families present the "AUH Notebook," a document used to verify the children's school attendance and healthcare appointments. This measure aims to ensure minors receive essential services.

The AUH program currently supports approximately 2.5 million families, benefiting around 4.3 million children under 18. Eligibility requires parents or guardians to meet specific criteria while living with minors.
