In line with the announcement made just over two weeks ago by Economy Minister Sergio Massa and the head of ANSeS Fernanda Raverta, the Government made official this Monday the payment of three reinforcements in the months of June, July and August for retirees and retirees.
The confirmation was given through the publication in the Official Gazette of Decree 282/2023, signed by Alberto Fernández, the Chief of Staff, Agustín Rossi, and the Minister of Labour, Kelly Olmos.
“A pension income enhancement is granted for a maximum amount of fifteen thousand pesos ($15,000), pesos seventeen thousand ($17,000) and pesos twenty thousand ($20,000) to be paid in months of June, July and August 2023respectively”, reads article 1 of that document.
These values correspond to those people who receive the minimum pension. Meanwhile, for those who collect up to two minimum withdrawals, the bonus will be up to $5,000.
The increases are intended for holders of contributory pension benefits provided for by ANSES, and for beneficiaries of the Universal Pension for the Elderly and of non-contributory pensions for old age, disability, mothers of seven or more children and other non-contributory pensions and ex – gratia pensions , the payment of which is the responsibility of this institution.
The reinforcements are not included in the credit and are not calculated for the disbursement of the half Christmas bonus scheduled for the month of June.
