Retirements: would extend the moratorium for women which expires on 23 July

In 2 weeks, on July 23, the chance to that women can retire with a moratorium. And the government would extend that structure until the approval of the bill by Congress of the “payment of the social security debt” so that men and women can complete their 30 years of contributions and access the pension.

The extension is based on the fact that this project, which has the sanction of the senatorsif approved by the Deputies, It would only be a long time since July 23, leaving for a uncertain period many women without access to retirement. And without accessing the PUAM (Universal Senior Adult Benefit) from 65 years of age is required to receive 80% of the minimum pension and women can retire at 60 years of age.

In Deputies there is a project by the Kirchner lawmakers to extend the moratorium until the draft voted in the Senators is sanctioned, but even if it is approved, nor do they give the “parliamentary times” be sanctioned by Congress by 23 July.

The current moratorium on women (law 26.970) allows those aged between 60 and 64 to complete 30 years of contribution for non-regular services from the age of 18 until December 2003.

According to social security data, in 2021, 222,805 people retired using the moratorium and between January and May 96,193 people, in both cases almost half of the total pension enrollments.

In turn, «this is demonstrated by the average of the first 3 months of 2022 65% of pension registrations corresponded to benefits due to the moratorium (of which three quarters by Law 26.970 and the rest by Law 24.476) “, according to an ANSeS Report.

The Report also specifies that, if the current moratorium is not extended or a new one is approved, nine out of 10 women between 55 and 59 and seven out of 10 men between 60 and 64, upon reaching retirement age (60 for women, 65 for men) they will not be able to retire because they will not reach the required 30 years of contributions.

in greater proportion women are most affected by unregistered work and unemployment.

Due to the moratorium of Law 26.970, which expires on 23 July, women can retire at the age of 60 (born in 1962), regularizing the contribution years until 2003. Thus, a woman who has turned 18 in 1980 can justify 23 years of contributions e 7 years must elapse between actual contributions after this date and services for care tasks (children).

Meanwhile, men and women have another moratorium law (Law 24.476) that is permanent which allows the regularization of services until 30 September 1993. It is more difficult to access because it implies regularizing fewer years of unaccrued contributions.

The project sanctioned by the Senate is intended for people who have already reached or will reach retirement age in the next 2 years (60 years for women / 65 years for men) and do not have 30 years of contributions.

It allows to regularize the missing periods up to December 2008 through the “buy” the missing years which will be discounted up to 120 installments of the old-age credit obtained.
