translated from Spanish: Coronavirus: Anses launches measures to protect retirees when they collect their credit

The director of the National Administration of Social Security (Anses), Alejandro Vanoli, announced on Thursday night that exceptional measures will be announced due to the coronavirus to collect the nets in order to protect the retirees, the risk population of the pandemic, and the workers of the agencies of the agency.
“Tomorrow, additional measures are announced to care for those receiving benefits from Anses and the agency’s staff in this emergency,” Vanoli said. 

One of these measures will make face-to-face attention “only on urgent and priority issues”. In addition, retirement and pension paying banks will be asked to coordinate alternative mechanisms to avoid crowds at the time of collection, bearing in mind that to avoid contagionites it is recommended to keep a distance of one meter in crowded places.

“Greater deadlines” will be made more flexible and given to the collection of holdings and formalities carried out by older adults and AUH holders, said the director of Anses. “We will move forward in prevention and care measures responsibly, within the framework of the protocols adopted by the National Government,” he concluded.

In addition, he anticipated that “the use of remote channels” will be prioritized to face-to-face channels, which will include deepening “process virtualization and remote work in certain cases”. In this way, they seek to reduce as much as possible intrapersonal contact that could affect both staff and those attending headquarters. In this note:
