He Permanent Family Contributionpopularly known as Bono Marzo, is one of the most anticipated economic benefits for Chilean households. This contribution, intended to alleviate expenses that usually accumulate at the beginning of the year, provides an amount for each family member or family, according to legal requirements. In 2024, the bonus was $61,793, but for 2025 it will be adjusted according to the variation in the Consumer Price Index (CPI).
The Social Security Institute (IPS) has issued an important call so that families can ensure their access to this benefit. One of the essential requirements is to have the Family Allowance paid by December 31, 2024. Therefore, the key procedure that workers and pensioners must complete is the updating of family responsibilities, a step that guarantees their inclusion in the Permanent Family Contribution payroll.
The deputy deputy director of the IPSLenia Pizarro, highlighted the importance of verifying remuneration settlements to confirm that the payment of the Family Allowance is included when appropriate. This check is necessary to avoid problems in accreditation and ensure access to the bonus.
The process of accreditation of family responsibilities must be done in the institution that administers the benefit, such as a Compensation Fund or the IPS. To do this, it is necessary to present the identity card and other documents, such as the employment contract or an AFP certificate in the case of dependent workers. Once the process is completed, people will begin to receive the Family Allowance for each validated load.
In addition to updating loads, you must pay attention to the deadlines established by the IPS to perform this procedure. This step not only ensures access to the March Bonus, but also facilitates compliance with other requirements associated with social benefits.
