Argentina Promulgates Disability Emergency Law, Halts Implementation Pending Budget

The Executive invokes fiscal law plus a ARS 3.02 trillion estimate to require congressional funding in the 2026 budget.

Overview

  • Decree 681/2025 formalizes Law 27.793 but suspends its execution until Congress specifies funding sources and includes credits in the national budget.
  • Administrative Decision 24/2025 shifts about ARS 121.36 billion to ANDIS to update provider tariffs starting October 1, a targeted step short of full implementation.
  • The law establishes a new non‑contributory disability pension, guaranteed access to Incluir Salud, monthly tariff mobility, emergency compensation to providers, and employer contribution relief for hiring.
  • Official estimates put full rollout at roughly ARS 3.019 trillion, or 0.35% of GDP, with the decree citing Law 24.156 (art. 38) and Law 24.629 (art. 5) to bar unfunded spending.
  • Congress previously overrode President Milei’s veto with two‑thirds in both chambers, and the dispute now moves to the 2026 budget debate as some lawmakers criticize the suspension.
