Through Decree 340/2024 published this Sunday in the Official Gazette , the Government of the Nation made official social security financial aid for retirees and pensioners . It will be collected in the month of May and the maximum amount will be $70,000.

It is important to highlight that just a week ago the Government, the National Social Security Administration (Anses) updated the retirement and pension amounts that will apply from May 2024. This adjustment was detailed in Resolution 97/2024 , published in the Official Gazette, under the direction of Mariano de los Heros.
Established Amounts:

- Maximum Asset: The maximum asset will amount to $1,279,472.92 from the same month.
- Minimum plus bonus: If the $70,000 bonus is made official, beneficiaries with a minimum will receive a total of $260,124.17
In this sense, the salary adjustment methodology will continue to be based on the inflation of the second month prior to the collection month, allowing for monthly updates. For example, April inflation, which is estimated to be lower according to consulting firms, will determine the June amounts.
