Overview

  • ANSES Resolution 38/2026, published on February 20, sets March pensions with a minimum of $369,600.88 and a maximum of $2,487,063.95.
  • The Prestación Básica Universal rises to $169,075.53 and the Pensión Universal para el Adulto Mayor to $295,680.70, with updated contribution bases of $124,481.49 and $4,045,590.45.
  • The March adjustment is 2.88% based on INDEC’s January CPI, applying the CPI‑linked monthly mobility established by Decree 274/2024.
  • Multiple outlets report the $70,000 extraordinary bonus for minimum pensions is expected to continue, but the new resolution does not explicitly include it.
  • AUH and related benefits are updated for March (AUH around $132,814 gross with 20% retention until Libreta submission), and the $85,000 Ayuda Escolar is being paid automatically to those who certified schooling by December 31, 2025.
