The article explains the automatic increase in the PUAM (Universal Pension for the Elderly) for September 2026, which will be 2.11%, aligned with the inflation rate recorded in July. The PUAM amount will rise to $342,906.55, plus the full $70,000 bonus, totaling $412,906.55. This update applies to all recipients of the PUAM, who also receive the full bonus since their pension is below the minimum retirement threshold. Other pensions, such as the minimum and maximum retirement, along with PNC (Invalidity/Old Age), will also see adjustments. The payment schedule for the PUAM aligns with minimum pensions, distributed between the second and third week of the month based on the beneficiary’s ID number. The bonus remains at $70,000, unchanged for over two years, and is directly credited to beneficiaries' accounts.
