ANSES Sets 2.9% April Increase, Keeps $70,000 Bonus With New Income Cap

The update links benefits to February inflation with the $70,000 bonus reserved for lower incomes.

Overview

  • ANSES, which published Resolutions 74/2026 and 79/2026 on Wednesday, formalized a 2.9% April adjustment across pensions and family allowances tied to February CPI.
  • The minimum pension is set at $380,319.31 and the maximum at $2,559,188.80, while the Basic Universal Benefit reaches $173,978.72 and the Universal Pension for Older Adults totals $304,255.45.
  • The $70,000 bonus continues under tighter targeting so minimum pensioners receive $450,319.31 in total, with partial top‑ups applied until that cap and no extra for higher amounts.
  • Payments start April 10 because early‑month holidays delay banking, with minimum pensions paid by DNI from April 10–23 and higher benefits from April 24–30.
  • Family benefits also rise with AUH at $136,666, AUH disability at $445,003, and SUAF tier‑one at $68,341, while Tarjeta Alimentar stays at $52,250, $81,936, or $108,062 and updated income caps can exclude higher‑earning households.
