Argentina Sets January Pension Payouts With 2.47% Rise and Targeted $70,000 Bonus

INDEC’s December inflation figure due January 13 will set February’s update under the IPC-based mobility rule.

Overview

  • ANSES is paying January benefits on a published DNI-based schedule after applying a 2.47% mobility increase to all pensions and allowances.
  • Low‑income retirees receive a compensatory $70,000 that brings the minimum total to $419,299.32, with proportional top‑ups for those slightly above the floor.
  • The second, variable tranche of the Compensación for beneficiaries above the minimum starts the week of January 23, calibrated so totals do not exceed $419,299.32.
  • The Human Capital Ministry/ANSES debit‑card reintegro remains active, automatically refunding a percentage of purchases up to a program cap advertised at $120,000 monthly.
  • A CEPA study estimates a 27.4% loss in purchasing power under the inflation‑only formula, while the maximum ANSES pension is about $2.35 million gross in January and does not receive the bonus.
