Starting next March 2, the National Social Security Administration (ANSES) will activate the new payment schedule corresponding to the third month of the year, in which the desired increase of 12.28% agreed by the Government last Wednesday will come into effect.
The first benefits to collect their salaries with the new increase in the ANSES will be the holders of the Non-Contributory Pensions (PNC) and the Food Card (now called the Alimentar Program), although its payment dates will be modified, as announced the organism.
According to what is established by the ANSES, for the next month, all the payment dates of the different social programs must move one day due to the two irremovable holidays for the Carnival party (Monday, February 28, and Tuesday, March 1).
In the case of the beneficiaries of the PNC and the Food Card, their payments will be made according to the completion of the National Identity Document (DNI) between March 2 and 6, respectively. Thus, the schedule for the organism for both services:
