Argentina’s National Social Security Administration (ANSES) has formalized pension and social benefit amounts for October 2026. Following a 1.66% monthly adjustment based on August inflation, the minimum guaranteed pension is set at $435,748.51. When combined with a non-remunerative extraordinary bonus of $70,000, the total consolidated minimum payment reaches $505,748.51. To support retirees, the Ministry of Human Capital has regulated a monetary supplement designed to ensure certain beneficiaries reach 82% of the minimum wage. This measure affects approximately 1.3 million people, including those with 30 or more years of contributions and those in special or disability regimes, though it excludes individuals who accessed pensions through moratorium laws. Other updates include the Universal Child Allowance (AUH) and the Family Allowance System (SUAF), both receiving a 1.66% increase. The AUH is set at $156,588 per child, which includes the Tarjeta Alimentar and the ‘Complemento Leche de los 1000 Días’. Additionally, the annual School Aid (Ayuda Escolar) will provide a guaranteed $85,000 per child for families under AUH and SUAF. ~~In recent developments, ANSES confirmed a 1.66% mobility increase for all benefits, including non-contributory pensions and child allowances.~~ For the ~~Becas Progresar program, the~~ week of October 12 to 16, ANSES announced a revised payment schedule ~~is set~~ due to the holiday on Monday, October 12; disbursements will instead begin on Tuesday, October 13. Specific dates are determined by the final digit of the recipient's National Identity Document (DNI). Becas Progresar payments for students are scheduled from October 13 ~~through~~ to October 19, with a monthly benefit of ~~$35,000 (noting that ANSES~~ $35,000, though some may ~~retain~~ receive $28,000 following a 20% retention.

To modernize administration, the agency launched the ‘Domicilio Electrónico de la Seguridad Social’ via the ‘Mi ANSES’ platform,~~ a ~~voluntary~~ digital tool for beneficiaries over 16 to receive legally valid official communications. Economic analysts continue to warn of financial strain. The Centro de Economía Política Argentina (CEPA) reports that minimum pensioners have suffered a real loss transformation of ~~approximately 20% in purchasing power compared~~ the AUH ‘Libreta’ starting November 1, 2026. This system aims to automate the ~~final quarter~~ verification of ~~2023.~~ school attendance and health check-ups through data sharing between the Ministry of Education and health agencies to reduce manual paperwork.
