Thanks to Milei's DNU, retirees who contributed receive what they are entitled to.
A retiree questioned the pension system created by the Kirchnerist moratoriums and highlighted Milei's decree
In an interview conducted by a media outlet on the street, a retiree expressed his dissatisfaction with the pension system and strongly questioned the inequality in access to benefits. "I don't receive the minimum pension; I actually receive more than two pensions, but I also have a lawsuit against ANSES, and they're paying me half the salary I'm entitled to," he stated.
The interviewee also referred to the privileged situation of political figures in contrast to the rest of the retirees: "The advantage of this is that they're going to return the money that ANSES stole from me, while there's a president of the Nation, a former president, who receives 30,000 dollars per month in pension, and I receive two minimum pensions. That is, there's the difference: I have to tighten my belt and the former president doesn't, because she defrauded the State. This isn't political, it's what I feel inside: she stole my pension," he said.
He also questioned the political use of pension moratoriums during previous administrations: "They included 5 million retirees who were foreigners, moreover, the majority, all for a vote. Unfortunately, we're paying for all that was done, and today they don't give this gentleman (referring to President Javier Milei) time to reorganize," he said.

After eight years of litigation, as he explained, he was able to access what he was entitled to thanks to a decree signed in July 2024 by President Javier Milei: "ANSES no longer intervenes when there's a claim for a retiree's benefit. On July 24 of last year, this gentleman issued a decree that the retiree who has two rulings gets paid, and I got paid," he said. The retiree refers to Decree 594/2024, signed on July 5, 2024.
With the publication of the Necessity and Urgency Decree (DNU) 594/2024, the national government led by Javier Milei took a concrete step toward organizing the Argentine pension system, strengthening the financial and administrative structure of social security.
The regulation, issued on July 5, 2024 and made official on the 8th of the same month, modifies the current budget with the aim of ensuring the continuity of State operations, but also reveals a rational and strategic approach to addressing pension liabilities.
One of the central aspects of the decree is the significant reinforcementof allocations for pensions, retirement benefits, and judicial pension rulings, both in the civil sphere and in the Security Forces and Armed Forces.
These expenditures, which for years were postponed or delayed by various administrations, are now beginning to be settled with clear decisions and specific funds, which allows for the restoration of confidence in the system and progress toward its sustainability.

The National Social Security Administration (ANSES) receives a budget increase aimed at paying pension benefits that incorporate the impact of the Mobility Law. In addition, 160,751 million pesos (354,496,000 dollars) are allocated to address debts recognized judicially and administratively, a historically sensitive point due to the accumulation of pension lawsuits initiated by thousands of retirees as a result of State noncompliance.
Meanwhile, the National Institute of Social Services for Retirees and Pensioners (INSSJP/PAMI) also sees its budget reinforced, especially for the settlement of judicial pension rulings. This allocation seeks to guarantee the continuity of social services received by the retired population, one of the country's most vulnerable sectors.
The decree also establishes additional funds for the Retirement, Pension, and Benefit Fund of the Argentine Federal Police and for the Financial Aid Institute of the Armed Forces, taking into account the impact of salary updates.
These measures reflect a change in approach, the government not only restructures allocations, but also begins to correct imbalances that have persisted for decades. The willingness to fulfill pension obligations and judicial rulings represents institutional progress and a clear sign of respect for acquired rights.
