The Government made official this Monday the payment of a bonus for retirees and pensioners that will be

5,000 pesos

and will be collected in August.

It is a measure that seeks to compensate for the loss of purchasing power of the passive class in the face of inflation.

It was implemented through Decree 481/2021, published this Monday in the Official Gazette.

"In order to mitigate the economic effects that the pandemic is causing, it is imperative to continue with the adoption of a series of urgent and exceptional measures with the aim of reinforcing the economic and social protection of the

most vulnerable sectors

," it is indicated among the recitals of the text.

The Decree bears the signatures of Alberto Fernández, Santiago Cafiero and Claudio Moroni.


How will the bonus be?


  • It will be charged by all retirees and pensioners who have incomes of

    up to two minimum assets

    , that is, about $ 46,130.

    This measure will reach six million people, 83% of the total of those who collect pension benefits.

  • It will be charged

    one time and in August

    .

  • In this way, whoever receives a

    minimum retirement

    of $ 23,065, will receive $ 28,065 next month.

  • For those who receive

    two minimum assets

    , that is, $ 46,130, they will receive $ 51,130.


  • This bonus is in addition to those granted in April and May of this year, of $ 1,500 each, at that time it was for those who received salaries of up to $ 30,856.

For September, there will be a

new quarterly increase

for mobility that will update retirements, pensions and family allowances according to the evolution of collections and salaries.


Lower bonus for those earning between $ 46,130 and $ 51,130


With the $ 5,000 bonus, those who collect the minimum retirement of $ 23,065 will

receive $ 28,065 in August

.

And those who receive two minimum assets ($ 46,130) will receive $ 51,130.

Consequently,

those who collect the minimum retirement and simultaneously the minimum pension for widowhood, will

receive this time in August the $ 5,000, unlike in April and May when the bonus of $ 1,500 reached up to a minimum and a half.

Meanwhile, so that retirees and pensioners who earn

between $ 46,130 and $ 51,130

do not

receive

less in August than those who receive the $ 5,000 bonus,

they will also receive a bonus

but for the difference until completing the $ 51,130.

Thus, for example, who today receives a retirement of $ 48,000, in August will receive a bonus of $ 3,130.

And if you win $ 50,000, in August you will receive a bonus of $ 1,130,

equal to the one that charges 2 minimum salaries.

With this scheme, retirees and pensioners who in August will collect the bonus of up to $ 5,000

will exceed 6 million on 8.4 million beneficiaries of the system,

including non-contributory pensions and the PUAM, according to information from ANSeS.

Both the $ 1,500 bonds granted in April and May and the $ 5,000 in August are an

acknowledgment that the mobility formula

debuted - in March and June - with

increases below inflation.

However,

the bonus is not integrated into the credit

, it will only be charged in August.

Due to the mobility law,

the next quarterly increase

that will be applied to assets

without the bonus will be due in September

.

For example, in the case of the minimum credit, the percentage of increase will be calculated on the $ 23,065.

Consequently,

the increases are granted on a lower basis

and thus the real loss of assets is maintained over time.
