Overview
- Governor Ignacio Torres confirmed the province will file the claim on Monday, December 29, through Chubut’s State Attorney’s Office.
- The case seeks ARS 51,000 million that the province says the national government owes to its provincial pension fund.
- Chubut cites a shortfall quantified by ANSES and argues the imbalance should have been addressed since 2017.
- Facing liquidity pressure, the province issued roughly ARS 60,000 million in notes to cover the mid‑year bonus, prompting protests and extended bank hours for retirees.
- A September agreement with Economy Minister Luis Caputo offset reciprocal debts and transferred four national routes but did not settle the disputed pension gap, while other jurisdictions such as Buenos Aires City weigh similar legal steps over unpaid funds.
