In March,
the quarterly increase for the 172,000
national teacher retirees will be 18.69%, according to Social Security records.
This percentage is because retired national teachers have
their own mobility
that is calculated by the variation in the salaries of active teachers with contributions to the ANSeS, the so-called "Average Taxable Teacher Remuneration" (RIPDOC).
Before, the semi-annual salary variation was taken into account but, due to high inflation, since the end of last year
the quarterly variation has been considered.
The RIPDOC between the months of July and September was 20.15% (corresponding to December, which was paid in January) and that of October-December was 18.69% and will be applied
from March 1 to May 31.
The differentiated increases for retired teachers are due to the fact that the sector's pension law establishes that active workers contribute
two additional points
(13% of salary) and retire with the mobile 82% corresponding to the position they had in activity.
Like the rest of the retirees, national teachers had
a strong loss in the purchasing power
of their salaries in recent years.
Without considering the inter-monthly losses, end to end in the last 5 years, the drop in assets was 21.6%.
• In 2018, retired teachers received two increases for a total of 22.3%, compared to inflation of 47.6%.
A decline of 17.1%.
• In 2019 the increase was 49.3% and inflation was 53.8%.
A loss of 2.9%.
• In 2020 there was a partial recovery: the increase in teachers was 40.8% versus inflation of 36.1%.
An improvement of 3.4%.
• In 2021, the increase was 50.6% versus inflation of 50.9%.
A drop of 0.3 points.
• In 2022: the increase was 84% versus inflation of 94.8%.
A retracement of 5.5%.
The change from the semiannual to quarterly adjustment was approved at the beginning of November of last year through Resolution No. 1567/2022 of the Ministry of Labour, Employment and Social Security.
There it was specified by "the current inflationary context it is necessary to grant the mobility that corresponds to them
in parity of temporary conditions
than the rest of the pension beneficiaries."
