Overview
- ANSES published a December 2026 payment schedule that starts December 9 and runs through December 23, with the medio aguinaldo paid automatically on the same day each beneficiary receives their monthly pension.
- By law the Sueldo Anual Complementario equals 50% of the applicable pension for each half‑year, and ANSES calculates it using the adjusted December pension after applying the mobility update.
- The mobility update for December depends on INDEC’s October inflation figure, which will define the final December pension and aguinaldo amounts once published.
- The extraordinary non‑remunerative bonus of up to $70,000 paid in November under Decreto 1296/2026 does not count toward the aguinaldo base and its continuation for December has not been announced.
- Related year‑end moves: the U.S. Social Security Administration confirmed a 3.6% COLA for 2027 with some SSI recipients receiving an advance deposit on December 31, 2026, and Mexico’s ISSSTE will pay the second part of its aguinaldo together with the December pension on November 27, 2026.
