Overview
- ANSES confirmed a 2.47% update for January 2026 based on November inflation, with the maximum benefit set near $2,350,453 and the minimum updated for all retirees and pensioners.
- The decree-backed extraordinary bonus of up to $70,000 applies per beneficiary, tapers for those above the minimum, and is excluded once total monthly income exceeds roughly $419,299, with deposits following the published DNI-based calendar.
- Many retirees can access a temporary “triple extra” in January that combines the monthly increase, the $70,000 bonus where eligible, and debit‑card purchase reimbursements of up to $120,000 available through January 22.
- February’s mobility will be set by the December CPI that INDEC releases in mid‑January, and private forecasts cited in the coverage point to roughly 2%–2.5%, with ANSES already outlining February payment dates by DNI.
- Peru raised the ONP pension cap to S/1,000 by decree starting in January, with payment of the increase rolling out in February and legislators urging the government to extend relief to minimum‑pension recipients.
