On the other hand, in the Resolution 97/2024 published in the Official Gazette it is decreed that the The planned minimum and maximum tax bases are established at $64,039.66 and $2,081,258.67.
The Executive Branch arrived at these amounts after knowing last week the information on theto March retail inflation that gave 11%. When applying this percentage to the April minimum, which was $171,283.31, the retirement now reaches $190,000.
When April inflation is known, which The consultants estimate downwards, June values can be calculated. And so on, since by decree the government ordered that – in addition to an initial bonus of 12.5% - starting this month, retirement benefits be adjusted monthly based on the inflation of the second previous month.
Retirements: at what value was the PUAM set
While the amount of the Universal Basic Benefit (PBU)applicable starting next month, will be $86,981.11.
Meanwhile, the amount of the Universal Pension for the Elderly (PUAM) It was set at the sum of $152,113.28 pesos.
Retirements: how the rest of the months will be paid
The Anses will completely make the new pension scheme official only in July and will have as its base monthly adjustment based on inflation of the second month prior to the respective asset (in July it will be with the May index).
Retirements: what will happen to the bonus
The Government has not yet said whether it will pay a bonus in May or how much it would be, but the presumption – given the emphasis on maintaining balance or surplus in public accounts – ands that the value of $70,000 will be repeated. Firstly, because if there were no bonus, the majority of retirees would earn less in May than in April.
If a bonus of $70,000 is added to the minimum established today in the resolution (that is, of equal value to those that the government provided in March and April), the total to be received by retirees of the minimum will be $260,124.17, which will in turn be 7.81% higher than the total received in April. The difference between 11 and 7.81% is due to the fact that if the amount of the bonus remains fixed, its impact on total income will be increasingly lower.
In principle, this bonus would be applied to all retirees if the Government sticks to the declared intention of ceasing the flattening of the salary structure, the so-called “retirement pyramid”, which was compressed during the Kirchner administration, to the point that About 70% of the beneficiaries today receive the minimum salary.
Retirements: how they will be paid from today
Tomorrow this Wednesday, the National Social Security Administration will begin the schedule to complete the April retirements and pensions, which for the majority of recipients of the minimum was doubled (not so for those who begin to collect it from Thursday the 18th, who will do so in a single payment), for reasons administrative.
As ANSES clarified, Those who collect on April 17 or later will receive the full disbursement one time. Those who collected their salaries with amounts prior to the last increase according to the new modality, will receive the remaining money.
