Overview
- The Secretaría de Energía confirmed the August exclusions after detecting attempts to regain benefits through altered sworn declarations.
- Those affected had been dropped from the RASE in May during a geolocation-based recategorization that flagged 15,518 users with capacity to pay.
- Irregularities were identified using geolocation tools alongside mass analysis of cadastral and tax records, prompting removal of the benefit.
- The controls will be extended to identify gated communities across the interior in a plan to federalize oversight and tighten eligibility.
- The move is framed as part of Decree 465/2024's shift to targeted aid, with the methodology applied to electricity and networked natural gas.
