The benefits provided by the Government have become more famous as a result of the health emergency, which is why the Family Base Bonus has gained more ground.
This is part of the Chile Seguridades y Oportunidades Program, which is the only requirement to access. That is, no application is required, you only need to stay in the initiative to have the payment month by month.
This benefit is delivered for a period of two years, to the extent that the requirements established in the standard are met.
The conditions to obtain the Family Base Bonus are:
- Participate in Psychosocial Support (APS) or Socio-Labor Support (ASL).
- Monthly per capita income (for each member) less than $ 41,820.
On the 15th of each month, compliance with these requirements is verified to identify who is entitled to receive this benefit.
Values of the Family Base Bonus
The amount varies monthly depending on the economic situation of the family or beneficiary person and covers up to 85% of the difference between their monthly per capita income and the value of the extreme poverty line ($ 41,820).
This money will be paid in a decreasing way, going down one sixth per month from the 17th contribution, as long as the requirements, which are verified month by month, are still met. As a reference, the maximum amount paid during the first quarter of 2020 reached $ 28,657 per month.
