Court Clears Way for End of Volver al Trabajo and Shift to Voucher-Based Training

Allowing the Ministry to reassign program funds to a voucher training platform, the ruling ends a frozen monthly payment for nearly 900,000 beneficiaries.

Overview

  • The Federal Chamber of Appeals in San Martín revoked the Campana court's injunction on Monday, removing the judicial order that had forced the state to keep paying the Volver al Trabajo benefit.
  • With the injunction lifted, the Ministry of Capital Humano is authorized to stop the program’s cash transfers from August and redirect resources to the new Formando Capital Humano training scheme.
  • Beneficiaries had been receiving a frozen monthly amount of about $78,000 and will see that support end unless a new court order or administrative decision restores payments.
  • The government has launched the Formando Capital Humano portal and a voucher system that routes funds to training providers and courses with pre‑registration via Mi Argentina, though operational details and economic equivalence remain contested.
  • Social movements led by the UTEP denounced the decision, announced protests and possible fresh legal actions, and the Chamber said a precautionary order would unduly preempt the merits of the case while noting the PAS program will remain in force under current rules.
