Government Promulgates Disability Emergency Law, Freezes Implementation Pending Funding

Officials cite budget law requiring identified funding before new benefits can start.

Overview

  • Decree 681/2025 formalized Law 27.793 and simultaneously suspended its execution until Congress specifies financing and includes the required credits in the national budget.
  • The Executive invoked Law 24.629 and Law 24.156 to justify the pause, estimating the law would cost about ARS 3.02 trillion across 2025–2026, or 0.35% of GDP.
  • A separate Administrative Decision 24/2025 reallocates ARS 121,363,881,238 to the National Disability Agency (ANDIS) to update provider rates starting October 1.
  • Officials said available non‑social credits total ARS 2.302 trillion, which they argue is insufficient without undermining essential state functions such as security, justice and prison food services.
  • Until Congress defines funding in the 2026 budget, new non‑contributory disability pensions, compensations to providers, expansions under Incluir Salud and broader ANDIS rollout remain on hold.
