Government Expands Automatic Data Checks for Child Benefit Verification

Overview

• The change was formalized by Resolution 508/2026 published in the Official Gazette and directs ANSES to put automatic verification by data exchange into operation.
• When official records show required health checks and vaccinations for children up to four years, ANSES can pay the withheld 20% each month along with the regular 80%.
• The new system extends automatic checks to school attendance for children aged 5 to 17 so families do not have to deliver school certificates when those records exist in official databases.
• If secure cross-checks fail because data are missing or inconsistent, beneficiaries keep the right to present documents in person to ANSES under procedures the agency will set.
• The measure aims to cut paperwork and waiting times for vulnerable families but its success depends on ANSES’ technical rollout and the coverage and quality of provincial and national health and education records.
