In line with the announcement made just over two weeks ago by the Minister of Economy, Sergio Massa, and the head of the ANSeS, Fernanda Raverta, the Government made official on Monday the payment of three reinforcements in the months of June, July and August for retirees and pensioners.
The confirmation was given through the publication of Decree 282/2023 in the Official Gazette, with the signature of Alberto Fernández, the Chief of Cabinet, Agustín Rossi, and the Minister of Labor, Kelly Olmos.
"Grant a reinforcement of pension income for a maximum amount of fifteen thousand pesos ($ 15,000), seventeen thousand pesos ($ 17,000) and twenty thousand pesos ($ 20,000) to be paid in the months of June, July and August 2023, respectively," says Article 1 of that document.
These values correspond to those people who receive the minimum retirement. Meanwhile, for those who collect up to two minimum pensions, the bonus will be up to $ 5,000.
The increases are intended for holders of contributory pension benefits provided by the ANSES, and beneficiaries of the Universal Pension for the Elderly and non-contributory pensions for old age, disability, mothers of seven sons or daughters or more, and other non-contributory pensions and ex gratia pensions, whose payment is in charge of that entity.
The reinforcements are not integrated into the credit and are not calculated for the payment of the half bonus scheduled for the month of June.
Bonuses for retirees and pensioners: how much will retirees receive from June?
The minimum retirement is currently $58,665 (gross) plus up to $15,000 bonus. In total, $ 73,665. With the 20.92% increase, the minimum retirement will be $70,938. Today's high of $394,763 rises to $477,347.
In relation to what retirees are receiving today of minimum salaries including the bonus ($ 73,665), in June the total income rises to $ 85,938 ($ 70,938 plus $ 15,000) and represents an increase of 16.7%. In July, with the reinforcement of $ 17,000, the total income goes to $ 87,938, the increase is 19.4%. And in August, the total income rises to $ 90,938 (23.4%).
For those who charge between one and two minimum salaries the increase is smaller because the $ 5,000 bonus they received in March, April and May remains unchanged.
Meanwhile, those who receive more than two minimum salaries, ($ 141,874) do not receive any reinforcement, absorbing the loss against inflation.
