Overview
- La Libertad Avanza presented a new disability bill Tuesday that restores the Certificado Único de Discapacidad, keeps monthly indexation of fees to the CPI, and preserves the noncontributory pension while allowing compatibility with formal work.
- The text removes the current law’s “emergency” label and replaces it with a permanent framework, which means its costs must be included in the Budget 2027 and will reshape how funding is debated in Congress.
- The draft obliges the Executive to make budget reassignment and to include specific budget lines and a payment schedule for providers, and it also creates regular audits using ANSES and other databases to monitor compliance.
- The change follows internal tensions inside the ruling coalition and the resignation of the disability secretary Alejandro Vilches, and it is being circulated to allied blocs to secure a majority dictamen in a Wednesday committee session.
- If approved this approach would give families and therapy providers more payment predictability but it could raise fiscal questions in the Budget debate, so the final outcome depends on Casa Rosada’s approval and the committee vote to watch for next.
