Judge Sets Feb. 4 Deadline To Enforce Disability Emergency Law as Government Drips Funding

The case tests enforcement of a Congress-approved law that the budget left unfunded.

Overview

  • Federal Judge Adrián González Charvay ordered the national government to apply Law 27.793 in full from February 4 and required an explanatory report within five business days.
  • The Health Ministry is preparing the court-ordered report and cites partial steps, including nomenclator updates of up to 35% for providers.
  • The executive says it is making minimal monthly transfers to meet legal floors and avoid sanctions while rejecting full-year funding within the 2026 budget.
  • An appeal filed by the Treasury to the Federal Chamber of San Martín remains pending, but the implementation order stands in the meantime.
  • Plaintiffs warn of personal daily fines and potential criminal complaints for noncompliance, as sector groups report provider exits and service disruptions.
