Overview
- ANSES will deposit the medio aguinaldo together with December pensions on a DNI‑based schedule running roughly from December 9 to 23, with minimum benefits paid first and higher benefits afterward.
- The SAC for retirees equals 50% of the best monthly benefit from July to December and is calculated and credited automatically to the usual account with no paperwork required.
- Eligibility covers SIPA retirees and pensioners, PUAM and Non‑Contributory Pensions, while social transfers such as AUH and AUE do not receive the aguinaldo.
- December benefits incorporate an inflation‑linked update of about 2.3% based on October CPI; the minimum pension is updated to around $340,700, making the typical SAC near $170,000 for minimum beneficiaries.
- Outlets report the $70,000 extraordinary bonus for low‑income retirees would be paid again in December with full amounts at the minimum and proportional sums above, though formal confirmation is not uniform across reports.
