To strengthen controls, the Executive regulated the residence requirement in the country to access the benefit and established how the benefit will be suspended.
Through Resolution 918/2024, the National Social Security Administration (ANSES) established that benefits and allowances will stop being paid to people who spend more than 90 consecutive days outside the country. The measure was made official through the Official Gazette.
As can be seen from the regulations of the resolution, which bears the signature of the head of Anses, Mariano de los Heros, This is a measure that seeks to “exercise control of non-contributory social security benefits and the allocations administered by the organization in those that establish the requirement of residence in the country for obtaining and/or receiving them, without setting a specific period of permanence.
ANSES: how the suspension of the benefit will be done
Therefore, with the desire to comply with this requirement, and enforce it, those who do not comply with it and when they have been absent from the territory of the Argentine Republic for a period greater than 90 consecutive days are “will proceed to suspend the corresponding benefit”.
The information on departure and return to the country within that period will be traced through the use of the different Anses databases and that sent by the National Migration Directorate“within the framework of the current agreements between both organizations.”
In article 3 of the resolution it is made explicit that once non-compliance is validated, the benefit will be withdrawn until “both the holder requests its activation and it is reliably demonstrated that he is residing in the country again.”.
However, it clarifies that restitution will only be for those benefits that do not imply that said non-compliance results in the complete loss of the right. In that case, you will be dismissed and will not be reinstated.
ANSES: the precedent with the PUAM
Within the framework of a process of reorganization of social benefits, the previous precedent was in May, when Justice asked the Minister of Human Capital, the withdrawal of 2,954 beneficiaries who collect the Universal Pension for the Elderly (PUAM) but who live abroad because the beneficiaries were registered in the registry as people over 65 years of age, without conditions to access a retirement, but they left the country and do not register a return. The regulations establish that PUAM beneficiaries cannot be outside the country for more than 60 days.
