Salta Sues to Restore Suspended Disability Pensions as ANSES Enforces 90-Day Residency Rule

The move underscores mounting provincial resistance to contested disability pension audits.

Overview

  • Salta Governor Gustavo Sáenz ordered the provincial State Attorney to file an amparo against the Nation and ANDIS to immediately reinstate non-contributory disability pensions and return withheld amounts.
  • ANSES confirmed that beneficiaries outside Argentina for more than 90 consecutive days lose the right to the benefit and payments are suspended until reactivation is requested and residency is verified through migration data.
  • Reports indicate thousands have already stopped receiving payments during the audits, with beneficiaries citing irregular notifications, inaccessible summons and mistreatment.
  • In Mendoza, 43,511 people were summoned to reverify disability status, while provincial requests for official counts of suspended pensions have received no formal response from ANDIS.
  • ANDIS faces continuing scrutiny following leaked audios involving former director Diego Spagnuolo and a leadership change, bolstering calls from Cofedis and provinces to pause or overhaul audit procedures.
