Argentina Presses On With ANDIS Disability Pension Audits as Cancellations Top 111,000

Notification failures turned the compliance check into abrupt losses of income that cut off Incluir Salud care.

Overview

  • The government is continuing the nationwide audit despite public outcry and leaked audio attributed to former ANDIS head Diego Spagnuolo suggesting the process was used to execute cuts.
  • At least four thousand pensions were recently suspended in Córdoba city and nearby areas, according to local disability organizations, as lines swell at the regional ANDIS office.
  • ANDIS acknowledged that by June 46% of audit letters could not be delivered, with reports of wrong addresses, inaccessible formats for blind people, far‑away appointments, and one‑week document deadlines.
  • Audits expanded to providers in the Incluir network, with delistings reported and a fee schedule frozen since December 2024, leading to interrupted therapies and unpaid or underpaid prestadores.
  • A Mendoza beneficiary filed a federal amparo after a suspension notice arrived without a prior audit, as officials report 111,463 cancellations nationally and families lose a benefit worth about 70% of the minimum pension.
