The Federal Chamber of Tucumán has revoked a previous ruling from October that mandated the Argentine national government, led by Javier Milei, to restore all occupational disability pensions that were canceled. The court concluded that the civil association and the Ombudsman of Catamarca who filed the case did not have the legal standing to make the collective claim. This decision demonstrates the complexities involved in social security litigation and the need for proper representation in legal actions concerning public rights.

In its ruling, judges Mario Leal, Ricardo Sanjuan, and Marina Cossio clarified that while the collective claim could not proceed, this does not bar individual pensioners from pursuing their own claims for non-contributory disability pensions if they believe they are entitled to them. This nuance highlights the importance of individual rights within collective legal frameworks and allows those affected to seek recourse through proper legal channels.

The context of this case reflects ongoing tensions in Argentina's social welfare policies under the Milei administration, which has faced pressure to balance economic austerity measures against advocacy for vulnerable populations such as individuals with disabilities. This decision will likely have implications for those whose livelihoods depend on such pensions, as it underscores the complexities of judicial processes in enforcing social entitlement rights.
