Overview
- Payments begin Friday, January 9 for DNI ending in 0 and run through January 22 for minimum beneficiaries, with higher‑haber groups paid January 23–29.
- Benefits increase about 2.47% under the CPI‑linked mobility rule, lifting the minimum to roughly $349,299.32 and to about $419,299.32 with the bonus.
- Decree 918/2025 confirms the extraordinary $70,000 will be paid in January, granted in full at the minimum and proportionally up to a cutoff near $419,299.32.
- Official guidance clarifies the bonus is credited once per titular rather than per benefit, affecting cases with shared pensions or multiple prestaciones.
- The OPC’s read of the 2026 Budget projects a real drop of around 13.8% in bonus funding, pointing to erosion in the refuerzo’s purchasing power over the year.
