ANSES Sets January 2026 Payment Schedule, Confirms $70,000 Bonus and 2.47% Increase

Budget analyses signal constrained funding for the frozen $70,000 top‑up in 2026 following January’s modest CPI‑linked lift.

Overview

  • Payments begin Friday, January 9, and follow DNI order: minimum-benefit retirees are paid from January 9–22 and higher-benefit retirees from January 23–29.
  • Benefits rise about 2.47% under the monthly mobility formula tied to inflation, applied across pensions and social assignments.
  • The $70,000 extraordinary top‑up is confirmed for January by Decree 918/2025, paid in full at the minimum and proportionally reduced up to an exclusion cap near $419,299.
  • Updated reference amounts include a minimum near $349,299 (about $419,299 with the bonus), a maximum near $2,350,454, and adjusted PUAM and non-contributory pensions.
  • ANSES deposits pensions and the bonus automatically without extra paperwork, and Congress’s budget office reports a real funding drop for the top‑up that points to no increase during 2026.
