The Retirement Authority explained this All payments will be made on the dates stated on the regular calendarAs is the case every December, the combination of the increase, enhancement and half bonus constitutes the highest income of the year for retirees and pensioners.
Regarding the exceptional bonus of $70,000, which has been in effect since the previous months, the pension organization confirmed that it “serves once again as an essential supplement to preserve purchasing power in an inflationary context that continues to erode the income of the most vulnerable sectors.”
Although the 2.34% increase was lower than own expectations, ANSES highlighted that mobility automatically responds to the change in the CPI, a mechanism that seeks to partly protect real income.
In parallel, various analysis centers pointed out that even with bonuses and bonuses, retirement benefits remain behind the cost of living. However, December once again represents a temporary relief thanks to a boost that raises the minimum income to more than $580,000.
With this announcement, the government has concluded the last month of the year with a slight increase that will affect more than 7 million beneficiaries, including retirees, pensioners, and bonus holders.
The challenge towards 2026 will be to promote a plan that combines fiscal sustainability, periodic updating and predictability, in an economic context still characterized by inflationary tensions.
