Milei Promulgates Disability Emergency Law, Freezes Implementation Pending Funding

The Executive cites fiscal laws plus a projected 0.35%-of-GDP cost to demand that Congress earmark resources in the 2026 budget.

Overview

  • Decree 681/2025 formalizes Law 27.793 and suspends its execution until Congress specifies financing under Law 24.629, article 5, and Law 24.156, article 38.
  • An administrative step (Decisión Administrativa 24/2025) reallocates funds to bolster ANDIS and update provider aranceles starting October 1, without constituting full rollout.
  • Official estimates put the total 2025–2026 cost near ARS 3.02 trillion, including a new non‑contributory pension, Incluir Salud coverage and an extraordinary compensation for providers.
  • Opposition deputies filed judicial complaints and moved to interpellate Chief of Cabinet Guillermo Francos, with a possible censure vote, as disability groups prepare legal challenges.
  • The statute declares a disability emergency through December 31, 2026 with potential extension, creating a new pension, mandating monthly tariff updates, compensations and tax incentives for employers.
