Argentina Sets February Benefit Hikes and Ties Full AUH for Under‑Fives to Health Validation

Full AUH for under‑fives will flow once Plan Sumar validates health records, with others relying on the Libreta now accepted through March 31, 2026.

Overview

  • The Ministry of Capital Humano and ANSES confirmed the Complemento Leche will rise to $48,691 in February for pregnant people, those breastfeeding, and children up to age 3 on AUH/AUE.
  • ANSES applied a 2.47% mobility increase in January and will apply 2.8% in February, updating AUH and other assignments under the CPI-based monthly formula.
  • Resolution 1170/2025 establishes that children up to 5 will receive 100% of the AUH only if Plan Sumar can automatically verify registration, correct personal data, and up‑to‑date health controls.
  • Authorities say the inter‑agency data system needed for automatic validation is not yet operational, so ANSES continues paying 80% monthly and retains 20% until compliance is proven.
  • ANSES extended the AUH Libreta submission deadline to March 31, 2026 and published January payment calendars for AUH, pensions, and other benefits.
