Salta Takes Disability Pension Fight to Supreme Court as Sáenz Seeks Border Plan Freeze

The provincial filing seeks urgent reinstatement of payments with a freeze on new suspensions pending a ruling.

Overview

  • Salta’s State Prosecutor filed an amparo before the Supreme Court to restore non‑contributory disability pensions and related benefits suspended by ANDIS and the national government.
  • The submission asks for retroactive payments, the nullification of audit procedures carried out in the province, and precautionary measures to halt new cuts until the case is decided.
  • The case is referenced in court records under CSJ 2128/2025 and centers on alleged irregular audits and due‑process failures affecting residents in Salta.
  • Governor Gustavo Sáenz condemned the suspensions as indiscriminate, arguing centralized notifications ignore remote communities and have left people without pensions, medical coverage or supplies.
  • Sáenz urged suspending social plans for non‑resident foreigners in border areas to redirect funds to retirees and people with disabilities, and he defended charging foreigners for non‑emergency public healthcare while maintaining emergency care on humanitarian grounds.
