Argentina Finalizes January 2026 Pensions With CPI Rise and Monthly Bonus

The decree establishes a variable bonus of up to 70,000 pesos for low‑income retirees, with payment dates set by DNI.

Overview

  • ANSES applied the January update using November CPI (about 2.5%), setting the minimum pension at 349,401.58 pesos under the monthly mobility scheme.
  • The government decreed a non‑remunerative bonus of up to 70,000 pesos per benefit throughout 2026, paying the full amount at the minimum and tapering down to a cap equal to the minimum plus 70,000 pesos.
  • Payment calendars were published in the Boletín Oficial (Resolución 349/2025): minimum pensions and PNC begin on January 9, AUH starts the same day, and higher‑benefit pensions are scheduled for January 23–29 by DNI termination.
  • PNC for disability rises to 244,509.52 pesos in January and totals 314,509.52 pesos with the bonus; PUAM is updated at 80% of the minimum and beneficiaries of seven‑child pensions receive the minimum plus the applicable bonus.
  • Family benefits follow the same mobility rule, with AUH gross at 125,528 pesos per child in January (100,362 pesos after the usual 20% withholding), while the February adjustment remains contingent on INDEC’s December CPI.
