The decision follows a UATRE request, with officials framing it as a way to cement gains in formal hiring without cutting support.

Overview

  • Decree 777/2025 was published in the Official Gazette with the signatures of President Javier Milei, Chief of Cabinet Guillermo Francos, and Human Capital Minister Sandra Pettovello.
  • The measure extends the validity of Decree 514/2021 and its complementary rules for one year starting September 1, 2025.
  • The underlying framework allows beneficiaries of certain social programs to take registered seasonal farm work while keeping those supports, and guarantees family allowances at least equal to 100% of the AUH.
  • The extension was requested by UATRE’s José Voytenco and is supported by unions, producer groups, and regional economy representatives; the policy had already been prolonged by Decree 423/23.
  • The government cites more than 120,000 rural workers benefiting over the past four years, and RENATRE separately updated extraordinary assistance amounts via Resolution 114/2025 effective November 1.
