Argentine legislative activity and pension audits

Overview

In September 2026, the Argentine government, through the La Libertad Avanza party, began negotiating with allied legislative blocs to present a permanent disability law. This proposal aims to replace the current emergency status, which the opposition is seeking to extend until December 31, 2027. The government’s plan seeks to ensure the continuity of benefits, including monthly inflation-adjusted fee updates and the maintenance of the ‘nomenclador único’ system. Additionally, the proposal suggests that non-contributory disability pensions remain compatible with formal employment, provided income does not exceed two minimum wages. On September 23, 2026, the government secured a majority report in the Chamber of Deputies for its “Strengthening of Sustainability and Permanent Efficiency in the Disability System” project. By mid-October, health workers and social organizations held demonstrations in Rosario and Buenos Aires, demanding an extension of the emergency law. On October 9, 2026, the Congressional Budget Office (OPC) estimated the new bill could cost approximately 0.04% of GDP in 2027 and 0.07% of GDP by 2028. On October 22, 2026, the Chamber of Deputies approved the project with a two-thirds majority. Following audits, the government suspended 21,812 Non-Contributory Pensions for Labor Disability (PNC) via Resolutions 3695/2026 and 3697/2026. In early November 2026, the National Disability Secretariat (SENADIS) issued further resolutions to suspend non-contributory pensions, overturning previous judicial decisions. Presidential spokesperson Adrián Ravier stated the revocation was due to insufficient documentation and irregularities. On November 3, 2026, the Argentine Senate advanced the bill after a joint plenary of the Budget and Finance and Population and Human Development commissions issued a favorable report. On November 6, 2026, details emerged regarding the suspension of the 21,812 pensions, noting that over 700 residents in Mendoza lack a unique disability certificate.
