In the following note we will tell you all the details about the modification of the Decree with Rank, Value and Force of the Food Law for workers of 2011. In Venezuela there is a subsidy called Food bond which is granted monthly to all workers. Until April, the amount was so low that it did not cover almost anything in the basic basket for the home. However, Nicolas Maduro approved a bill so that workers can receive a considerable quota in dollars and that it will be fixed no matter what job they go to.
How do I know if I count any Sistema Patria bonus?
Those Venezuelan citizens who obtain some of the bonuses will be notified by the short number 3532 and also by the veMonedero application with a message indicative of the bonus that is being delivered. It should be noted that it is important to take into account that you will have to enter your Patria System Profile and click on the red “Receive Bonus” button.
What is the new amount of the Cestaticket?
The Government of Nicolás Maduro pointed out that from May 1, 2023 the new amount of the Cestaticket comes into force, which has gone from being worth only 45 bolivars to a total of 1000 bolivars, increasing more than 2122%. Now, workers will be able to collect this bonus indexed to their salaries for a total of 40 dollars, compared to the 1.82 dollars they received until April.
“We are going to permanently index it monthly so that it does not deteriorate with the change in the value of the dollar,” Nicolás Maduro had pointed out on May 1, 2023 in his speech on Labor Day. It is worth mentioning that, whatever happens with the Venezuelan currency, the workers must receive 40 dollars yes or yes.
