Argentina Observes Sept. 20 With Pension Day and 'Nunca Más' Commemoration

Media also revisit how to apply for retirement benefits through ANSES.

Overview

  • The Día del Jubilado marks the 1904 passage of Law 4,349 under President Julio A. Roca, the country’s first retirement framework for state employees.
  • That law established the Caja Nacional de Jubilaciones y Pensiones, the inaugural national fund dedicated to supporting retirees.
  • On Sept. 20, 1984, Conadep delivered the 'Nunca Más' report, documenting hundreds of clandestine detention centers and thousands of disappearances, laying groundwork for the later trials of the juntas.
  • Guidance highlighted by outlets notes that applicants should verify contribution histories, complete ANSES forms, and book an appointment to submit documentation.
  • Coverage also points to other Sept. 20 observances, including Día de los Novios, the National Day of the Horse honoring Gato and Mancha’s Andes-to-New York trek, and Soda Stereo’s 1997 farewell at River before more than 65,000 people.
