On October 31, Chilean workers will be able to access several bonuses that will lighten your pocket on the eve of the long weekend due to the end of the month holidays. This economic support includes several benefits that, for the most part, are paid along with salaries on the last business day of the month, especially benefiting those who meet certain vulnerability or work condition requirements.
one of these subsidies is the Women’s Work Bonus (BTM), aimed at working women who meet the established requirements and who seek to improve their labor income. This bonus, whose monthly payment for October is up to $42,377, is granted based on the income that the beneficiary received in July. Applications are open throughout the year through the SENCE online platform, and once approved, payment is made monthly.
Another of the benefits available is the Subsidy to Youth Employment (SEJ), which is aimed at young people between 18 and 24 years old belonging to the 40% of the most vulnerable population, according to the Social Household Registry. This monthly subsidy can be collected by deposit in a RUT Account, bank account or in cash at BancoEstado. To apply, the process is completely online, and the amount of the subsidy is determined based on income for the month of July.
The Family Allowance is also an important benefit for dependent and independent workers with family responsibilities. Its amount varies according to each person’s income and is directly integrated into the salary in the case of contracted workers, while independent workers receive it through tax refunds the following year. The allowance is granted differently, from $21,243 to $4,119 per load, depending on the established income brackets.
Likewise, there is the Maternal Allowance, which benefits pregnant workers and workers who can prove that their spouses are pregnant. This assignment It is granted from five months of pregnancy and is paid in the monthly salary for dependent workers. In the case of self-employed workers, payment is made annually through tax refunds, with amounts that coincide with the Family Allowance brackets.
