The Argentine National Social Security Administration (Anses) is set to release social benefit payments during the week of February 16 to 20, 2026, as per their established payment calendar. Notably, this week includes two public holidays, Monday and Tuesday, which are observed for Carnival, leading to a suspension of payments on these days. Hence, beneficiaries can expect their payments to resume on Wednesday.

During this week, Anses will distribute a variety of social benefits. These include pensions, Universal Child Allowance (AUH), Pregnancy Allowances, Prenatal and Maternity Allowances, as well as one-time payments and family allowances for non-contributory pensions. This structured payment schedule is crucial for many households who rely on these benefits for their living expenses.

Furthermore, it is important to note that social benefits are subjected to a monthly adjustment. For February, benefits will see a 2.85% increase, reflecting ongoing efforts to address the economic needs of the population. This adjustment aims to maintain the purchasing power of beneficiaries amidst rising inflation, showcasing the government's response to the socio-economic challenges faced by many Argentines.
