Retirees: 2.9% increase in March and how the minimum amount with a bonus of $70,000 stands

Retirees and pensioners in Argentina will see a 2.9% increase in their payments starting March 2026, along with a $70,000 bonus for those on minimum pensions.

In March 2026, retirees and pensioners receiving benefits from ANSeS in Argentina will experience a 2.9% increase in their payments, calculated based on the inflation rate reported by INDEC for January. This adjustment is automatic and will be deposited alongside their regular monthly payments without any additional paperwork required.

For those on the minimum pension, the total payment will include a $70,000 bonus, which will also be credited to their account on the same date as their salary. This measure aims to provide financial support to pensioners, ensuring that those on lower fixed incomes receive adequate assistance. Additionally, for those earning above the minimum pension, the bonus will be distributed proportionally, staying within the limits set by ANSES for the month.

As a result of this increase, the minimum pension will stand at approximately $369,636.78 in March, and with the bonus, this amount will rise to around $439,636.78. The maximum pension will exceed $2,487. These updates are essential for maintaining the purchasing power of retirees amidst prevailing economic conditions in Argentina.
