Salta Ombudsman Files Lawsuit to Halt Disability Pension Cuts

Salta’s ombudsman has launched a protective lawsuit to ensure pension payments continue during an ANDIS audit that the national government says must generate savings before any new funding is approved

Overview

  • ANDIS has provisionally suspended 110,522 non-contributory disability pensions as part of a nationwide case-by-case audit initiated in March
  • Casa Rosada officials insist no additional budgetary partidas will be reassigned until verified savings from suspended pensions are realised
  • Local reports in Salta reveal beneficiaries facing acute hardship after losing payments without receiving formal notification via carta documento
  • On August 15 the Defensoría del Pueblo de Salta announced it will seek a court order to maintain payments and enforce fair notification timelines during the audit
  • Following media coverage, beneficiary Alberto Salvatierra had his suspension lifted and expects pension reinstatement next week while others still await medical turnos
