Overview
- ANSES updated the nominal minimum and maximum for the Prestación por Desempleo to ARS 195,600 and ARS 391,200 effective October 1, 2026.
- Because the benefit is paid a month in arrears, October disbursements reflected September calculations and showed lower credited amounts of about ARS 191,900 to ARS 383,800.
- Eligibility rules remain the same: most registered employees must prove at least six months of contributions in the prior three years and qualifying termination causes determine access.
- Monthly payments start from a calculation equal to 75% of the worker’s best net monthly pay in the last six months but are bounded by the legal floor and ceiling and vary by contribution history.
- Applicants can complete the claim fully online via ANSES Atención Virtual or in person with a prior appointment, and ANSES can open a ‘Cuenta de la Seguridad Social’ to receive payments.
