Overview
- The Social Security Federal Chamber’s Sala III rejected ANSES’s extraordinary appeal on Wednesday, leaving in force a February injunction that reinstated the widow’s pension.
- The ruling passed 2–1, with judges Sebastián Russo and Juan Fantini in the majority and Nora Dorado dissenting, and it orders ANSES to resume payments while the case continues.
- The court kept a split approach to the two benefits by restoring the widow’s pension and leaving the presidential retirement suspended.
- The case stems from ANSES Resolution 1092 of November 2024 that removed both benefits after the Vialidad conviction, and the chamber cited the pension’s ‘alimentary’ nature in granting provisional protection.
- The pension is sizable under Law 24.018, measuring about ARS 9.66 million in November 2024, and reports indicate the separate Austral Zone add-on tied to a Santa Cruz address is not expected to return.
