ARThe Argentine government announced through Decree 824/2026 that it will provide an extraordinary bonus of up to 70,000 pesos to retirees, pensioners, and beneficiaries of social benefits managed by ANSES, including the Universal Pension for the Elderly (PUAM) and non-contributory pensions. This bonus will be paid alongside the September salary increase, which raises the minimum pension from 419,775.93 pesos to 428,591.22 pesos. As a result, those receiving the minimum pension plus the full bonus will receive a total of 498,591.22 pesos in September. The decree specifies that this bonus is non-salary-related and cannot be deducted or counted toward other benefits.
