Overview
- The government issued Decree 216/2026 that grants a non‑remunerative $40,000 payment to staff in federal security bodies including the Federal Police, Gendarmería, Prefectura, the Airport Security Police, the Federal Prison Service, and the national intelligence directorate.
- Federal Police personnel also receive a one‑time variable bonus by rank that ranges from $100,000 for senior officers to $300,000 for agents and lower ranks, on top of the $40,000 fixed sum.
- Gendarmería members get the same $40,000 fixed payment plus a rank‑based bonus of roughly $100,000 to $300,000, which TN details in a grade‑by‑grade list as non‑remunerative add‑ons.
- Base salaries for the Armed Forces and the Federal Police remain those published in late 2025 in the Boletín Oficial, with no new ministerial resolutions updating April pay scales.
- Firefighters’ earnings vary by employer, since federal brigades use the Federal Police scale while Buenos Aires City firefighters follow the city public‑employee system that sets a starting gross above $1.29 million.
