Argentina's Non-Contributory Pensions to Rise 2.15% in July 2026

Argentine pensioners receiving Non-Contributory Pensions (PNC) are set to see a 2.15% adjustment to their benefits in July 2026. This increase is based on the inflation rate recorded in May, which stood at 2.1%. The National Social Security Administration (Anses) applies these monthly adjustments based on inflation data, using price increase percentages with two decimal places for accuracy.

The payment schedule for these pensions, along with minimum pensions and the Universal Child Allowance (AUH), typically begins in the second week of each month, determined by the last digit of the beneficiary's national identity document (DNI).

For July 2026, the minimum pension, including a $70,000 bonus, will amount to $481,989.33. Pensions for disability or old age (PNC) will reach $358,392.53, also including the bonus. While the monthly adjustment is tied to inflation, the bonus amount has remained unchanged since March 2024. This can result in a lower effective increase for those receiving the minimum pension, as the fixed bonus does not keep pace with rising prices.

Non-Contributory Pensions are designed by law to support vulnerable or special groups within the population. Currently, there are four types of PNC: Invalidez (disability), Vejez (old age), Madres de 7 o más hijos (mothers of 7 or more children), and Reparación Histórica (historical reparation). Official figures indicate that these categories collectively serve around 1.5 million individuals, with disability pensions accounting for approximately one million beneficiaries.
