Argentina Raises January Pensions, Sets $419,401.58 Bonus Cap as ANSES Payments Begin Jan. 9

The decree-backed $70,000 top-up is paid in full at the minimum, tapering to zero at the new cap to reshape who qualifies this month.

Overview

  • ANSES applied the November IPC-linked mobility update of roughly 2.5%, fixing the January 2026 minimum benefit at $349,401.58.
  • Under the confirmed scheme, minimum earners receive the full $70,000, those below $419,401.58 get a variable amount to reach that ceiling, and no bonus is paid above the cap.
  • ANSES clarified exclusions for January, including beneficiaries whose combined monthly prestaciones exceed $419,401.58, inactive benefits, or shared pensions that surpass the cap.
  • The DNI-based payment calendar starts Friday, January 9 for those at or below the minimum and runs through January 29 for higher-benefit groups.
  • Economic officials signaled limited scope for additional extraordinary increases beyond the current decree, leaving the bonus’s future adjustments uncertain.
