Overview

• The Sept. 20 observance commemorates Law No. 4349, signed in 1904 under Julio A. Roca, which founded the Caja Nacional de Jubilaciones y Pensiones Civiles for national employees.
• Guides reiterate standard eligibility: 65 years for men, 60 for women, and about 30 years of contributions, with moratoria and special regimes for disability or age-advanced cases.
• Outlets recap major shifts in the system: the 1954 move to a pay-as-you-go model, the 1994 SIJP reform with private managers, and the 2008 Law 26.425 restoring a public, mandatory framework.
• Administrative steps emphasize checking contribution records, completing ANSES forms, and requesting an in-person appointment to file documentation.
• The date also features other efemérides, including delivery of CONADEP’s 1984 Nunca Más report, as well as the Día de los Novios, the Día Nacional del Caballo, and the International Day of University Sport; recent reporting notes a 239% annual jump in the retiree consumption basket to nearly $700,000.
