Overview
- ANSES published the official December calendar that pays the medio aguinaldo together with monthly benefits on DNI‑based dates starting 9 December and running through 23 December for higher‑value pensions.
- The size of the December increase will be set by the October Consumer Price Index that INDEC will release on 12 November and applied under the monthly mobility rule established by Decreto 274/2024.
- A government non‑remunerative bonus of up to ARS 70,000 was authorized and paid in November by Decreto 1296/2026, but officials have not confirmed any renewal for December and a new decision would be required to extend it.
- ANSES already applied a 1.93% adjustment for November (Resolución 304/2026) and the aguinaldo equals 50% of the relevant monthly benefit under Law 24.241, with non‑remunerative bonuses excluded from the aguinaldo base.
- Private projections suggest holders of the maximum pension could exceed ARS 4.5 million in December when the October CPI and the medio aguinaldo are applied, but those totals remain provisional until INDEC and ANSES publish final figures.
