Argentina Lifts May Pensions, Keeps Targeted Bonus as Mexico Moves IMSS Deposit to Next Business Day

Only the lowest‑income retirees receive the full Argentine bonus.

Overview

  • ANSES, citing March inflation, set a roughly 3.4% mobility increase for May that lifts the minimum pension to about ARS 393,250 and the maximum to about ARS 2,646,201.
  • The government formalized a bonus of up to ARS 70,000 under Decree 292/2026, paying it in full only to minimum earners, PUAM recipients, and non‑contributory pensions, and phasing it out above a total of about ARS 463,250.
  • Payments for minimum pensions begin Monday, May 11, on a DNI schedule, with higher‑paid pensions following later in May, and the bonus lands on the same day and account as the monthly benefit.
  • Mexico’s IMSS said the May pension deposit will post on the first business day after the May 1 Labor Day bank holiday, and it directed anyone missing a deposit to call 800 623 2323, option 3.
  • IMSS also set a guaranteed minimum of 10,636.54 pesos a month for eligible Ley 73 retirees, which applies to workers with at least 500 weeks of contributions who meet the age threshold.
