Former Argentine President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner has begun receiving life pension payments following a judicial order to provisionally restore the benefit, which the government had previously suspended. In September, the National Social Security Administration (ANSES) issued a gross payment of approximately 16,090,877.01 pesos to cover the month of August.

While the Argentine government is appealing the ruling to the Supreme Court of Justice to permanently suspend the benefit, Kirchner’s legal team has filed a new claim. This filing seeks retroactive payments dating back to April 24, 2026, arguing that the recent disbursement failed to cover previous months. The legal challenge also seeks to nullify specific deductions, including a 20% reduction intended for fund recovery and various tax and health insurance withholdings.
