Overview
- Minimum-benefit retirees, who began to collect Monday under the DNI schedule, are receiving May checks with the increase plus the $70,000 top-up.
- May amounts reflect a roughly 3.4% mobility update set by a CPI-linked rule that adjusts monthly with a two-month lag under Decree 274/24.
- The minimum pension is $393,174.10 and totals $463,174.10 with the full bonus, and PUAM and non-contributory pensions are included under the same scheme.
- The $70,000 bonus is paid in full to minimum earners and on a sliding scale up to a cap of $463,174.10, and it was formalized by Decree 292/2026 with automatic credit.
- Payments follow ANSES’s DNI calendar, with minimum-benefit groups running through May 21 and those above the minimum scheduled for May 22–29.
