In February 2026, Argentina's ANSES will apply a 2.85% adjustment to the Universal Child Allowance (AUH), raising the total amount per child to $129,070.

Argentina's National Social Security Administration (ANSES) will update family allowances in February 2026 via the mobility mechanism, applying a 2.85% increase from the previous month. This adjustment reflects recent inflation and aids millions of families with dependent children. For the standard Universal Child Allowance (AUH), the total per child rises to $129,070, with ANSES disbursing 80% monthly ($103,256) and withholding 20% ($25,814) until educational and health requirements are verified through the AUH booklet. For children with disabilities, the total exceeds $420,000, with monthly direct payments over $336,000 after retention. To claim the accumulated withheld amount, holders must submit documentation by March 31, 2026. The process is online via Mi ANSES using CUIL and Social Security password: generate the form, obtain signatures from the school and health center, and upload digitally. Once validated, ANSES credits the amount in subsequent payments, typically within 60 days. The February payment schedule accounts for holidays like Carnival, starting Monday the 9th for DNI ending in 0, and running through the 24th for ending in 9. Holders can check exact dates on Mi ANSES. This framework ensures comprehensive child support by linking financial aid to mandatory checkups.
