Overview
- The Executive formalized the extraordinary payment in Decree 686/2026 and ANSES applied the mobility formula to set a 1.89% rise for August benefits.
- ANSES published updated amounts showing the minimum pension at $419,775.93 and a maximum pension near $2,824,694.49 after the mobility adjustment.
- The $70,000 bonus is paid in full to minimum recipients, scaled down proportionally for those with incomes between the minimum and $489,775.93, and excluded for incomes at or above that ceiling.
- Payments start the week of Monday 10 August for minimum‑pension recipients by DNI termination and continue for higher haberes in a second tranche from 25 to 31 August, with automatic deposits and official fraud warnings.
- Journalists note the bonus has been nominally frozen since March 2024, which cuts its purchasing power and weakens relief for low‑income retirees, a trend to watch for future policy or indexation changes.
