ANSES Confirms May 3.4% Benefit Rise, $70,000 Bonus and Higher Food Aid

The package targets low‑income households through CPI‑linked raises plus a focused $70,000 bonus.

Overview

  • ANSES posted the May calendar, with payments starting Monday, May 11, and a holiday shift that moves higher‑benefit retirees with DNI ending in 2 and 3 from May 25 to May 26.
  • Pensions, jubilations and family allowances rise 3.4% under the monthly mobility rule tied to March INDEC inflation, taking the minimum to $393,174.10 and the maximum to about $2.65 million.
  • The $70,000 extra is automatic only for those at the minimum and scales down for incomes up to $463,174.10, so retirees above that level do not receive the bonus.
  • Food assistance was raised 38% by Resolution 161/2026, lifting Plan Alimentar to $72,250 for one child, $113,299 for two, and $149,425 for three or more, with deposits handled by ANSES.
  • ANSES also updated SUAF amounts and income thresholds via Resolution 111/2026, while AUH keeps the 80% monthly payment with 20% retained until the Libreta is filed and continues to add the automatic Complemento Leche of about $53,290 per child under three.
