Discover how to access the Family Allowance for Marriage 

In our previous article, we told you about the benefits of the Family Allowance for Marriage in Argentina, but now it is time to delve into the requirements and rules to obtain this benefit and how to apply for it. 

First of all, it is important to keep in mind that to access the Family Allowance for Marriage, both you and your partner must be legal residents in Argentina and be officially married.

This benefit is not granted to couples who only live together in a free union or who do not have the civil status of marriage.

Additionally, both you and your partner must meet the income requirements established by the government to access this benefit. 

If the family income exceeds the established limit, they will not be able to receive the allowance.
