The bonus
He bond A $13,500 grant is awarded for each minor in the household, allowing families to access additional resources specifically for the purchase of essential food items. This measure, although temporary, has been crucial in alleviating the economic burden of many households in the country.
The assignment of this bond The payment began in July 2024, with the second payment made in August, and the last scheduled to be deposited on September 1. This last disbursement will be the last opportunity for beneficiary families to receive this financial support, which can be doubled in households with more than one minor, reaching $27,000 for two beneficiaries or $40,500 for three beneficiaries in the same family.
To determine if a family is eligible to receive this bondit is important to review the situation as of April 30, 2023. Those entitled to this benefit are those under 18 years of age who belong to families who, until that date, received the Family Allowance, the Maternal Allowance or the Subsidy Single Family (SUF). In addition, families who participated in one of the programs of the Chilean Subsystem of Security and Opportunities are also eligible, an initiative that seeks to provide comprehensive support to the most vulnerable sectors of the population.
It is important to remember that the bond The $13,500 amount is intended exclusively for the purchase of food and cannot be withdrawn in cash. This ensures that the funds are used to cover basic needs, such as food, in the neediest households. The balance appears separately in the beneficiaries’ RUT Account and can only be used in commercial establishments such as supermarkets, bakeries and stores that accept electronic payments, allowing families to access essential products directly.
