The National Institute of Statistics and Censuses (Indec) has published an index of 2.2% that will serve as a base to calculate the increase in pensions in March. According to the Mobility Law, this adjustment is determined by taking into account the inflation of the previous two months, so the 2.2% increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for January will be reflected in the payments for March.
Regarding the amounts, the minimum pension in March will be $ 278,547, while the maximum will rise to $ 1,874,365. This new adjustment follows the 2.7% increase that was applied in February, based on December's inflation. ANSES has confirmed this update to ensure the purchasing power of retirees.
The payment calendar for pensions for February 2025 has already been announced. For those whose amount does not exceed the minimum pension, payments will be made starting from February 10, according to the expiration of their ID number. In the case of those who receive a higher amount, they will be paid starting from February 24.
Regarding March, the payment calendar confirms that the minimum pension will be paid starting from March 12, also according to the expiration of the identity document. For pensions that exceed the minimum amount, payments will start from March 21. Beneficiaries will be able to withdraw through ATMs, bank counters, or with credit to their accounts.
It is important to highlight that the pension update is adjusted to the mobility formula, which is based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The corresponding increase for March follows the guidelines set by the government to ensure the update of pension benefits and preserve their purchasing value.
