Summary: We examine the Argentina’s social conditional cash transfer program, the Asignación Universal por Hijo, which has low organizational burdens for ac-cessing the social benefit. However, we find that it still significant numbers of non-take-up. Specialized literature often attributed this to problems in the design of programs and procedures. Nevertheless, we state that these organizational factors do not, by themselves, explain why vulnerable people tend to have lower levels of participation and sometimes not even apply for programs targeted at them. We show that citizens’ vulnerability and negative policy feedback affect their capacity and willingness to apply.
