Overview

• Decree No. 700/2025, published Oct. 1 in the Boletín Oficial, authorizes a single, extraordinary 70,000‑peso payment for retirees, pensioners and non‑contributory pension holders.
• The bonus is paid in full to minimum‑income beneficiaries and prorated for higher pensions, and it is non‑remunerative and not subject to withholdings.
• The government also relaunched the Beneficios ANSES program, which applies automatic reimbursements when purchases are made with the debit card tied to the pension account.
• Rebate terms include a 10% general supermarket reimbursement, 20% back on perfumery and cleaning products, and an extra 5% from Banco Nación for payments from a previsional account, with potential savings up to 120,000 pesos per month depending on merchant caps.
• Presidential spokesman Manuel Adorni said the discount scheme requires no registration, reaches about 7 million retirees, and is funded by business chambers and banks as protests over the lack of regular pension increases continue.
