ANSES Announces Benefit Increase and Bonus Payments

Understanding the Benefit Increase

This adjustment is calculated based on the Índice de Precios al Consumidor (IPC) from two months prior, in accordance with Decree 274/24. This mechanism ensures that social benefits keep pace with the rising cost of living.

Additional Bonus for Minimum Pension Recipients

Furthermore, retirees and pensioners receiving the minimum benefit will receive an additional bonus of $70,000. This bonus aims to ensure that they can afford basic necessities. The total minimum retirement payment, including the bonus, is now $349,121. This includes $279,094.40 from the updated benefit amount and the $70,000 bonus.

Specific Benefit Amounts

Here's a breakdown of specific benefit amounts, including the bonus:

Changes to Asignación Universal por Hijo (AUH)

Recipients of the Asignación Universal por Hijo (AUH) will also see an increase in their benefits. However, it's important to note that ANSES retains 20% of the AUH amount, which is paid out in a single installment upon presentation of the Libreta AUH. This document verifies that children have received necessary health check-ups, vaccinations, and are attending school. The current AUH amount is $80,229.45. For the Asignación Universal por Hijo con Discapacidad (AUH for children with disabilities), the benefit is $261,243.
