Overview
- ANSES issued Resolución 349/2025 setting exact December 2026 aguinaldo payment dates organized by DNI termination so beneficiaries know when deposits will be made.
- The concrete size of December payouts remains pending because the increase is tied to INDEC's October consumer price index that will be published on November 12.
- Decreto 274/2024 requires monthly pension updates calculated from the IPC two months earlier, so the December adjustment uses October's inflation figure and further updates for January and February 2027 will follow the same rule.
- Illustrative examples in reporting show how the aguinaldo is half the highest monthly pension of the semester and that a proposed extraordinary $70,000 bonus has been mentioned but not yet defined by the government.
- For retirees this means fixed payment dates now and uncertain totals until INDEC and any government decisions on bonuses are announced, with the monthly indexation mechanism set to keep benefits changing through early 2027.
