The National Social Security Administration (ANSES) has recently announced changes in the Progress Scholarship Program, which will affect the beneficiaries as of February 2025. This program, aimed at young students in vulnerability, seeks to guarantee access to education through monthly economic aid.
However, the new adjustments of ANSES In family income requirements have generated concern among current and potential beneficiaries. One of the most significant changes is the adjustment of the minimum, vital and mobile salary (SMVM), which in February reached $ 292,446.
As a result, the family income of the beneficiaries cannot exceed three SMVM, that is, $ 877,338 per month. This means that those family groups that exceed this figure will be excluded from the benefit. This measure seeks to focus resources in the most needy sectors and reduce public spending.
Besides, ANSES He confirmed that the amount of the progress scholarships will not be updated according to inflation and will remain at $ 35,000 per month. This contrasts with other social benefits, such as retirement and universal assignment by child (AUH), which will receive an increase.
The decision not to increase progress scholarships has generated criticism, since many consider that students also need a salary adjustment to cover the growing costs of education.
Another important aspect is that beneficiaries must meet certain requirements to maintain benefit. These include being registered in an educational institution recognized by the Ministry of Education, approveing a minimum number of subjects and not having finished a university career, technicatura or teaching staff.
Benefits
In addition, beneficiaries cannot be registered in the income tax regime or receiving another educational scholarship. ANSES He also detailed the payments of the Scholarships Progress for February, based on the termination of the National Identity Document (DNI).
Payments will be made on different days according to the final number of the beneficiary’s ID. For example, those with ID finished in 0 and 1 will receive the payment on Monday, February 10, while those with ID finished in 8 and 9 will receive it on Friday, February 14.
