This Friday, August 14, 2026, Argentina's social security agency ANSES kicks off the monthly payment schedule for the Family Allowance per Child (Asignación Familiar por Hijo) for registered workers. Today, beneficiaries with a DNI ending in 4 receive their payment. Here's everything you need to know about this essential social benefit.

The Administración Nacional de la Seguridad Social (ANSES) — Argentina's National Social Security Administration — confirmed through its official X account (formerly Twitter) that this Friday, August 14, 2026, marks the start of the Family Allowance per Child payment cycle for formally registered workers. On this first day, the agency deposits funds for beneficiaries whose national ID number (DNI) ends in 4.

The announcement was posted at 8:26 AM and quickly went viral among recipients, who can now check their payment status through the Mi ANSES app or the official website.

What is the Family Allowance per Child?

This is a monthly cash benefit provided by the Argentine State to workers formally employed under a dependency relationship (registered employees) for each child under 18 years old, or with no age limit if the child has a disability. The amount varies depending on the region and the family group's income, and it is periodically adjusted under Argentina's mobility law.

Payments are made via bank deposit into the account the beneficiary has registered, or through cash payment at authorized branches, depending on the case.

Payment Schedule: What Comes Next?

While today's ANSES tweet only mentions DNI endings in 4, the official payment calendar typically continues over the following business days with the remaining DNI endings. Beneficiaries are advised to stay tuned to the agency's official communications for their specific dates.

To view the full calendar, visit the official ANSES website or follow their social media channels, where daily DNI endings are published.

How to Check If You Can Collect

Registered workers can log into Mi ANSES using their CUIL (Unique Labor Identification Code) and social security password, then check the “Mis cobros” (My Payments) section to see the date and payment method. Alternatively, they can call the toll-free line 130 for assistance.

It's important to note that payments are automatically credited to the bank account — no additional paperwork is needed. If the deposit doesn't appear, wait 24 business hours before filing a claim.

Did you know? The DNI (Documento Nacional de Identidad) is Argentina's national identity document, essential for all administrative procedures. The CUIL is a unique labor identification number assigned to every citizen and resident for social security purposes.

This type of announcement is part of the monthly payment calendar that ANSES publishes to organize the disbursement of all its benefits, including pensions, retirement payments, and family allowances — a crucial lifeline for millions of Argentine families.
