Argentina's ANSES raises pensions and family benefits for August 2026
The National Social Security Administration (ANSES) announced a 1.89% increase in pension and benefit amounts for August 2026, using the June consumer‑price index of 1.9% as the reference. The minimum guaranteed pension is set at 419,775.93 pesos and, with the unchanged extraordinary bonus of 70,000 pesos, the total payment for minimum‑benefit retirees rises to 489,775.93 pesos. The Universal Pension for the Elderly (PUAM) is 335,820.74 pesos, reaching 405,820.74 pesos when the bonus is added. The Universal Child Allowance (AUH) is 150,848 pesos nationwide and 196,103 pesos in Zone I. Family allowances under the Single‑Unified Family Allowance (SUAF) for monotributistas in categories A‑C increase to 75,438.60 pesos per child. ANSES also released the full August payment calendar, assigning payment dates according to the last digit of each beneficiary’s DNI, with separate schedules for those receiving the minimum pension and those above the minimum. The bonus of up to 70,000 pesos applies in full to minimum‑pension recipients and proportionally to higher earners; the amount has remained unchanged since March 2024.
