ANSES Applies 1.66% October Increase to Pensions

INDEC's August CPI produced a 1.66% mobility increase raising the pension floor, increasing PAMI deductions in pesos, leaving the $70,000 bonus unratified.

Overview

  • ANSES will apply a 1.66% mobility adjustment in October 2026 based on INDEC's August consumer price index, using the two‑decimal rule that translates the 1.7% CPI into 1.66% for benefits.
  • The pension minimum will rise from about $428,633 to roughly $435,700 in October, with PUAM and PNC set at 80% and 70% of that floor respectively, producing the estimated PNC and PUAM values reported by outlets.
  • The extraordinary non‑computable bonus of up to $70,000 continues to be reported as paid to eligible low‑income beneficiaries but its formal renewal for October still requires a government decree.
  • ANSES confirmed the October payment calendar with deposits starting Thursday, October 8, and the higher gross haberes will increase the peso value of percentage‑based deductions such as PAMI.
  • Two further monthly mobility updates (November and December) and the December half‑yearly aguinaldo remain to be set by future INDEC CPI releases, which will determine year‑end net receipts for pensioners.
