The Banco de Previsiรณn Social (BPS) has issued its payment calendar for May 2026, ensuring beneficiaries are informed about when they can collect their subsidies for April. This detailed schedule, as reported by El Paรญs, covers various types of support, including unemployment, sickness, maternity, and paternity benefits.
For residents of Montevideo, the BPS central offices will handle payments between May 4 and May 20. Simultaneously, contractor payment points like Abitab, RedPagos, and Anda in the capital will also disburse these funds during the same period. This ensures accessibility for those who prefer or rely on these established payment networks.
Beneficiaries residing outside the capital will see their payments processed on May 4 through banks and electronic money institutions. For those in the interior who utilize contractor companies, the payment window extends from May 4 to May 20, mirroring the schedule in Montevideo. This coordinated approach aims to streamline the distribution of essential social benefits across the country.
El Paรญs reminds citizens that a valid identity card is required for collection. For those acting on behalf of beneficiaries, specific documentation, including a copy of the titularโs ID, is necessary. The BPS also offers an online service, "Consultar fecha y lugar de cobro de mis prestaciones," allowing individuals to verify their payment details, promoting transparency and ease of access to information.
