People who receive the social rate – retirees, pensioners, ex-combatants, disabled people and beneficiaries of social plans, among others – received the subsidy automatically from the beginning, by cross-checking data. Now, the national government is asking them to register privately, in order to keep it. Likewise, those who do not have the subsidy and are within categories N2 and N3, can request it.
Users are classified according to their income level, measured in Total Basic Baskets (CBT): N2 (lower income) are those with incomes of up to $828,158.19 net per month, that is, a CBT; users N3 (average income) earn between $828,158.19 and $2,898,553.67, that is, between 1 and 3.5 CBT; and finally, the N1 (higher income users), with monthly income greater than $2,898,553.67, which represents a floor of 3.5 basic baskets. In the latter case, they do not receive subsidies.
How to register to maintain or apply for subsidies?
The national government keeps registration open to request subsidies for electricity and gas. The procedure is mandatory if you wish to continue with the benefit or request it, in the case of users N2 and N3. To register there is time until August 5, 2024.

At the end, the applicant will obtain a confirmation code for their application that they will be able to download as a PDF file and which they must keep as a record. This code is important to know the status of the procedure from the MiArgentina application.
What percentage of consumption will be subsidized after registration?
Those who register to maintain the subsidies on electricity and gas rates – or to request them and receive an affirmative response – will receive a subsidy for their consumption in a proportion appropriate to their level.
In this way, on gas bills, N2 users (lower income) will receive a subsidy of 64% of the total consumed. While those with medium income (N3) will receive a subsidy for 55% of the consumption of the period. As for electricity, the discounts will be 71.92% for those in the N2 universe and 55.94% for those in the N3 universe.

What happens if users do not register to keep the subsidy?
Those who do not register until August 5, inclusive, will completely lose the subsidy and will have to pay the full bill, as do users at level N1, who are the ones with the highest income. For this reason, it is very important that users complete the request.
In this framework, the Municipality of La Plata began a dissemination campaign so that the 18,000 households that currently receive subsidies are re-registered so as not to lose them. “It is very important that they complete the process and register to keep the subsidy,” the mayor remarked. Julio Alak shortly after the initiative was launched. At the same time, he pointed out that “from the Municipality we are working to convene all affected sectors so that they are aware of this situation and help them resolve their doubts and register in the communal delegations.”
It is estimated that some 70,000 people benefit from the subsidies received by those 18,000 households. Therefore, for those who cannot complete the application online, there is the possibility of going to the Customer Service Center within the next 30 days. Electrical Energy Control Agency of the Province of Buenos Aires (OCEBA)located on Calle 49 between 8 and 9 (No. 687). At this center, you can process your registration for electricity and gas.
They must present their ID and at least one electricity and gas bill – with legible data of the meter number and the Customer/Service/Account/Contract number or NIS. They must also report the out-of-pocket income, email address and CUIL number of both the owner and the cohabitants.
