Overview

• The government set the October disbursement calendar for three groups: public workers on Monday 13, public-sector retirees on Friday 17, and IVSS/100% Amor Mayor pensioners on Tuesday 21.
• President Nicolás Maduro authorized updated dollar-indexed amounts for this round: $120 for public workers, $112 for retirees, and $50 for pensioners.
• The benefit targets three segments of the population: public administration employees, public-sector jubilados, and pensionados registered in Sistema Patria.
• To withdraw funds, beneficiaries log into Plataforma Patria, accept the allocation under Protección Social, then go to Monedero and select Retiro de fondos to transfer to a linked bank account.
• Sistema Patria notifies recipients by SMS—reported shortcodes include 3532 and 67373—and officials note October payments on the platform have begun, with Bono Amor Mayor already active.
