In T13.cl we tell you what are the amounts to be delivered and from when you can apply for the benefit.

Last Friday, March 26, the payment of two important social benefits began to provide financial support to families affected by the pandemic.

It is the IFE Covid, which will reach 2,319,136 families, who were between January 25 and February 28, 2021 in quarantined or transitional communes, and the Covid Bonus, which will favor 201,218 households in the country for being, during this same period, in communes in preparation or Initial opening.

The process, which benefits about 6.6 million people in total, began last Friday, through transfers to the RUT Account of BancoEstado. In-person payments, meanwhile, began this Monday at the Los Héroes compensation fund and at BancoEstado branches.

The IFE Covid It is a contribution for families that, being below the established maximum income, meet any of the following requirements: belong to a household with at least one beneficiary of the sixth payment of the IFE and reside in communes in phase 1 and belong to 60% most vulnerable according to the RSH and reside in communes in phase 1 or 2.

On the other hand, the Covid Bonus It consists of a benefit that will be automatically received by households that have at least one member of the household who is the cause of the family allowance or user of the Security and Opportunities System and who reside in communes in phase 3 or 4.

This new Emergency Family Income will have several variants that can be accessed according to the established requirements.
