Suspension of the Calor Mayor Program
One of the most important programs that PAMI has to comprehensively assist retirees and pensioners from the input side is known as Greater Heat. This service operates during the winter and seeks to help social beneficiaries with the delivery of heating material.
With the end of winter and the beginning of spring, this PAMI program was suspended for the remainder of 2024, as it only works during the winter season.
How to apply for the Calor Mayor 2025 Program
It is important to clarify that not all retirees will be able to access this benefit when registration is enabled again. They must comply with any of these requirements:
- Living in areas of extreme cold.
- Not having a home gas connection.
- Finding yourself in a situation of social vulnerability.
Members who want to register for future editions must register at the retirement centers or at the nearest PAMI agency. Then, PAMI will be in charge of verifying that the member is in a situation of social vulnerability and does not have access to home gas. This verification is essential to create the beneficiary registry for next winter.
