50% discounts and up to $40,000 reimbursement launched for ANSES retirees in supermarkets in December

ANSES has introduced new agreements with banks and supermarkets to provide 50% discounts and up to $40,000 reimbursements for retirees on essential purchases in December. These initiatives aim to expand rebates on basic goods. Details include how to access them and participating entities.

The National Social Security Administration (ANSES) announced the expansion of benefits for retirees through agreements with banks and supermarket chains. Starting in December, holders of ANSES pensions and retirements can access 50% discounts on essential purchases, along with reimbursements of up to $40,000.

These incentives apply in participating supermarkets and aim to ease the economic burden on basic necessities. To participate, retirees must use debit cards linked to their ANSES account or agreed payment methods with the involved financial entities.

The program is part of efforts to support the most vulnerable sectors during the year-end period. Participating entities include major national banks and supermarkets, though it is recommended to verify specific conditions at each point of sale. No additional restrictions are mentioned in the available sources.
