The Home Program, managed by the National Social Security Administration (ANSES) In conjunction with the Ministry of Energy, it continues to be a key tool to guarantee access to packaged gas in low -income homes that do not have a connection to the natural gas network.
In April 2025, they were implemented in ANSES New requirements and adjustments that seek to optimize the distribution of the subsidy, ensuring that they reach those who really need it. These changes have generated interest and questions among current and potential beneficiaries.
The main objective of the home program is to provide a monthly subsidy that covers part of the cost of gas bottles, essential for heating and kitchen in homes without access to natural gas. This benefit is especially relevant in regions with cold climates, where gas consumption increases significantly during the winter months.
However, the new eligibility criteria have reduced the number of beneficiaries, establishing more strict revenues limits and excluding certain groups. Among the updated requirements to access the subsidy, the following stand out:
Absence of connection to the natural gas network: no member of the family group must have a registered natural gas service in its name or have requested the social gas rate. This criterion ensures that the subsidy is destined exclusively to those who depend on packaged gas.
Family income limits: the total income of the family group must not exceed the equivalent of two minimum, vital and mobile salaries (SMVM). In the case of monotributistas, the limit is established to category C inclusive. If a person with disabilities resides at home and has a single disability certificate (CUD) in force, the income limit is extended to three SMVM or the category D of the monotax.
Regional adjustments
In provinces with more rigorous climates, such as La Pampa, Neuquén, Río Negro, Chubut, Santa Cruz, Tierra del Fuego and the Patagones Party (Buenos Aires), the revenue limits are more flexible. In these areas, income can reach up to 2.8 SMVM per household, or 4.2 SMVM if there is a person with disabilities.
The amount of the subsidy of ANSES It varies according to the geographical location, the number of people at home and the time of year. During the winter months, additional amounts are granted to cover the increase in gas consumption. In addition, in homes with more than five members, an extra subsidy for additional carafes can be requested.
