Arguing the plan would cost about 0.35% of GDP, the government says the law will take effect only after Congress writes dedicated financing into the 2026 budget.

La Ley 27.793 estableció un paquete amplio de disposiciones, entre que se cuentan la creación de la Pensión no Contributiva por Discapacidad para Protección Social y la declaración de interés público nacional de los servicios de los prestadores.

Overview

  • The Executive published Law 27.793 in the Boletín Oficial and, via Decree 681/2025, halted its execution until specific funding sources are set in the national budget under Laws 24.156 and 24.629.
  • Official estimates put the total fiscal impact at roughly ARS 3.0195 trillion, including new non‑contributory disability pensions, coverage under Incluir Salud, and emergency compensation to providers.
  • Separately, Decisión Administrativa 24/2025 shifted ARS 121.364 billion to the disability agency ANDIS to enable an October 1 update of provider rates as a limited stopgap.
  • Opposition lawmakers filed or announced complaints in federal courts at Comodoro Py and are weighing parliamentary steps such as interpellations and a possible censure of the chief of cabinet.
  • Disability organizations condemned the suspension as a delaying tactic and said they have begun legal actions to press for full, timely implementation.
