Deputies Secure Committee Approval for Permanent Disability Regime

The commission text preserves key benefits but leaves financing unconfirmed and lacks executive sign‑off before a planned October plenary.

Overview

  • A La Libertad Avanza‑led majority won a committee dictamen in the Chamber of Deputies with 42 signatures to convert the temporary disability emergency into a permanent law.
  • The draft keeps core protections including PNC set at 70% of the minimum retirement, retention of the Certificado Único de Discapacidad (CUD), and work compatibility up to two minimum wages.
  • Technical units in the executive—Economy, Health and the Legal and Technical office—did not endorse the committee text, prompting Casa Rosada to open internal negotiations and warn of veto risk.
  • Service providers and groups such as Fatradis welcomed the changes but said they will monitor Presupuesto 2027 line items and demand participation in final drafting to secure payments and aranceles.
  • Parliamentary leaders aim to bring the bill to a plenary vote in early to mid‑October while the opposition keeps an alternate plan to extend the current emergency through December 31, 2027.
