In March 2026, holders of non-contributory pensions (PNC) in Argentina will experience a 2.88% increase in their monthly payments, as in alignment with the country's recent inflation metrics. This adjustment will apply to the pensioners managed by the National Social Security Administration (ANSES), who receive their payments according to specific schedules tied to their ID numbers, highlighting an organized approach to distribution based on the termination of each individual's DNI.

The PNC payments are a crucial aspect of the social security system in Argentina, as they provide financial support to eligible individuals who may not have sufficient contributions to qualify for contributory pensions. The increase of 2.88% is closely linked to the inflation rate recorded in January, which was 2.9%, emphasizing the government's attempt to keep pace with rising living costs and ensure that pensioners can retain their purchasing power.

As these pensions typically commence the payment schedule for the month alongside minimal retirement payouts and child allowance (AUH), the timely adjustments are significant for maintaining the economic stability of millions of beneficiaries. This systematic increase serves not only as a response to economic indicators such as inflation but also as a broader measure of social policy aimed at securing the livelihoods of vulnerable populations in Argentina.
