Breaking News: ANSES Streamlines Pregnancy Allowance for Sumar Program Beneficiaries
effective July, the process for pregnant beneficiaries of Argentina’s Sumar program to claim their pregnancy allowance will be significantly simplified. The National Social Security Administration (ANSES) has introduced a new measure that aims to make it easier for pregnant women in vulnerable situations to access support.
Automatic Access to Pregnancy Allowance
This revolutionary change means that beneficiaries of the Sumar program will automatically receive pregnancy allowance without needing to perform additional procedures. ANSES’s decision to implement this measure comes as part of an ongoing effort to ensure that pregnant women have seamless access to essential benefits.
What the New Measure Encompasses
The Sumar program, under the Ministry of Health, is designed to guarantee quality healthcare services for those without social or prepaid work. With this update, beneficiaries who meet the necessary criteria and are registered in the program will automatically receive the pregnancy allowance.
To access the allocation: women must be at least 12 weeks pregnant, be an Argentine citizen or have legal residence for at least three years, not have registered work, and have an income below the current minimum wage. In addition, registration in the Sumar program is mandatory.
How Much is the Pregnancy Allowance in July?
Given the 1.50% increase in line with the Consumer Price Index (CPI), the pregnancy allowance amount for July will be $111,141 for the general zone and $144,484 for Zone 1. This figure is post-deduction of the 20% universal assignment notebook discount.
Ensuring Seamless Collection of Benefits
It is crucial to keep personal data updated, such as contact details, to ensure there is no interruption in benefit allocation.
Historical and Future Context
The Sumar program was created to ensure that all pregnant women, regardless of their socio-economic status, have access to proper healthcare. This new measure by ANSES aligns with the broader goal of simplifying administrative processes and making essential benefits more accessible. Future implications of this policy change may include enhanced health outcomes for mothers and children, as well as increased participation in the program by vulnerable populations.
