Via Decree, the delivery of an Extraordinary Social Security Bonus was made official, aimed at guaranteeing economic relief for retirees and pensioners with lower incomes.
The Government made official the delivery of a extraordinary bonus for retirees and pensioners, with the aim of compensating for the negative effects it had on the purchasing power of their assets. He did it through Decree 1050/2024 published this Friday in the Official Gazette.
The official document blames a “past” law (No. 27,609), which established a formula to update retirement benefits, and which “was not effective in protecting retirees from inflation.” He adds that this led to many losing purchasing power, “especially those with lower incomes.” As a consequence, “additional bonuses had to be granted periodically to mitigate this situation,” he says.
