ANSES Begins Transition to Proportional $70,000 Bonus as Minimum Payments Finish

Completion of minimum‑pension deposits starts a shift to a proportional bonus for higher pensions that reduces the ARS 70,000’s buying power.

Overview

  • ANSES completed most payments for minimum‑pension beneficiaries with the last full‑bonus deposits scheduled for Monday 24 August and then moved into the payout phase for retirees with above‑minimum haberes.
  • Starting Tuesday 25 August ANSES began paying retirees with haberes above the minimum under a proportional scheme that reduces the ARS 70,000 top‑up as individual pensions rise.
  • The agency confirmed that pensions will rise by about 2.1% for September under the CPI‑linked mobility rule and that the ARS 70,000 extraordinary bonus will continue with an official September calendar beginning on 8 September.
  • Under the bonus rules minimum‑pension recipients get the full ARS 70,000, other eligible beneficiaries receive a scaled amount up to a ceiling of ARS 489,775.92, and all credits are applied automatically with each monthly deposit.
  • Because the bonus has been nominally frozen since March 2024 its real purchasing power has eroded, leaving retirees to rely more on monthly mobility adjustments and prompting analysts to warn of declining net gains for low‑income beneficiaries.
