La Derecha Diario ANSES: The government has formalized the $70,000 bonus for retirees in July
The government has made official the bonus of up to $70,000 for retirees and pensioners to be collected in July 2025
The Government confirmed the payment of an extraordinary bonus of up to $70,000 for retirees and pensioners in July 2025. The measure was published this Monday in the Official Gazette under decree 444/2025.
The supplement targets those who receive benefits below the minimum. It will also be granted to those who access non-contributory pensions and PUAM.
Who will receive the $70,000 bonus in July?
The payment applies to those who receive:
- Contributory benefits lower than the guaranteed minimum benefit.
- The Universal Pension for the Elderly (PUAM).
- Non-contributory pensions for old age, disability or for being a mother of seven or more children.
The bonus is non-remunerative, is not subject to deductions, and is not counted for other benefits. In addition, for shared pensions, it is considered as if there were only one holder for the right to the bonus.
How is the bonus calculated according to the benefit amount?
Those who receive the minimum benefit will get the full bonus of $70,000. If the benefit is higher than the minimum, the bonus will cover the necessary amount to reach the total of minimum benefit + $70,000.
The goal is to ensure that no beneficiary falls below that threshold, at least for this month.
How much will retirees receive this month?
With the updated values, in July:
- A retiree with 30 years of contributions will receive $379,298.16 gross, or $370,158 net, with the bonus included.
- The minimum retirement rises to $309,298.16, without the bonus, after the 1.5% increase adjusted for April inflation.
- The maximum benefit increases from $2,050,503.62 to $2,081,283.91.
When will the bonus be paid?
The bonus will begin to be paid together with the July benefits. ANSES is already preparing the payment schedule, which will be announced in the coming days.
This supplement aims to offset the deterioration in the purchasing power of the lowest pensions, although various sectors argue that the amount is now outdated.
