The Doubled March Bonus, also known as Permanent Family Contribution, is an economic aid provided by the Government of Chile to support Chilean households in the midst of the economic crisis they are facing. This year, an additional payment of $60,000 was announced, doubling the original amount and reaching $120,000.
If you are wondering if you are eligible to receive this benefit and when the payment will be made, here we provide you with the necessary information. The payment of Bond Doubled March began at the end of March and you do not need to apply again if you have already received your first payment. All people who met the prerequisites will automatically receive the benefit.
According to the Minister of Labor, Jeannette Jara, 96% of the beneficiaries will receive the payment through their RUT Account, while the remaining 4% will be able to collect it in person at the usual place of receipt of benefits. If you want to check if you are eligible to receive the Bond March doubled this month, you can access the online portal of the Social Welfare Institute and enter your RUT number and date of birth.
In addition, you can learn more about the process on the official consultation website of the Permanent Family Contribution, where you will find additional details. The benefit will be granted to the same groups of people who have received or are receiving the Permanent Family Contribution.
This includes people who receive Family or Maternal Allowance for their family responsibilities and had those payments active until December 2022. Those who receive Family Allowance and had that benefit in force until December 2022 will also benefit, receiving an extraordinary contribution of $60,000 for each grantee. Likewise, families that are part of the Securities and Opportunities Subsystem or Chile Solidario and were beneficiaries of these programs until December 31, 2022 will receive a bond additional $60,000 per family.
