Argentina's PUAM pension rises 2.58% in June 2026 with bonus and aguinaldo

Argentine seniors receiving the Universal Pension for the Elderly (PUAM) are set to see an increase in their monthly payments in June 2026. This adjustment is part of an automatic update mechanism tied to the latest inflation figures. The PUAM benefit itself will rise by 2.58%, a figure directly corresponding to the inflation recorded in April, which stood at 2.6%. This month-to-month adjustment process uses inflation percentages with two decimal places to ensure precise updated values.

The PUAM is increasing by 2.58%.

In addition to the standard pension increase, PUAM recipients are eligible for a 70,000 peso bonus, as the PUAM amount is lower than the minimum retirement pension. This bonus is being distributed in full during June. Furthermore, pensioners and retirees will receive their "aguinaldo," or year-end bonus, for June.

For PUAM beneficiaries, the total amount to be received in June 2026, including the increased pension, the bonus, and the aguinaldo, will be 553,981.59 pesos. This comprehensive payment aims to support the elderly population amidst ongoing economic conditions. The payment schedule for the PUAM aligns with that of minimum retirement pensions and can be checked on the official Anses website based on the beneficiary's national identity document (DNI) number.

Because the PUAM is lower than the amount of a minimum pension, during this month its holders are also entitled to the distribution of the bonus of 70,000 pesos in its entirety.

For those needing to initiate or manage PUAM applications, it is crucial to have an active "Clave de la Seguridad Social" (Social Security Key) and ensure all personal, family, and contact information is up-to-date and verified within the Mi Anses portal. This ensures smooth processing of applications and access to benefits.

The calendar of payments for the PUAM coincides with that of minimum pensions, and can be consulted on the official Anses website, once the payment schedule for the month is published, according to the termination of the DNI of the beneficiaries.
