Recent developments in social security administration show a focus on increasing the efficiency and automation of maternity and pregnancy-related benefits.

In one instance, the National Social Security Fund (CNSS) reported an 82% increase in maternity daily allowance payments for 2025 compared to 2024, with the processing rate rising from 47% to 77%. During a meeting on September 22, 2026, CNSS Director General Dr. Olivier Rebienot Pellegrin met with representatives from the association ‘Mon IJM, mes Droits’ to discuss challenges such as missing information and incomplete documentation. To address these issues, the CNSS intends to resolve all frozen or pending payments by the end of the year and plans to further digitalize services, enhance employer support, and strengthen controls.

In Argentina, ANSES is implementing administrative changes to streamline processes. Under Resolution 297/2026, the agency will begin automating the verification of medical controls for the Pregnancy Allowance for Social Protection in November. This process will utilize monthly data from the Ministry of Health to reduce the need for beneficiaries to present documentation in person.

Regarding pension adjustments, ANSES announced that for October 2026, beneficiaries including retirees and holders of various family allowances (AUH, SUAF, and AUE) are receiving a 1.66% increase based on August inflation rates. An extraordinary $70,000 bonus is also being distributed to those with the lowest incomes. Additionally, ANSES has clarified the ‘Aguinaldo Reparación Histórica’, noting it is not a universal bonus but a proportional portion of the annual supplementary salary (SAC) for those adjusted under the Historical Reparation program (Law 27,260).

For November 2026, benefits are scheduled to increase by 1.93% due to September inflation. This adjustment applies to minimum and maximum pensions, the Universal Pension for the Elderly (PUAM), and Non-Contributory Pensions (PNC).
