Second stage of the Pension Regularization Programme

By Act No. 26970 (complementing previous Act 24476), in September 2014, the national Government introduced a new Pension programme to regularize arrears of pension contributions, extending the time-limit under the Pension Regularization Programme introduced in 2005.

The programme is aimed at those who have reached statutory retirement age (65 for men and 60 for women) or who will reach such age during the two years of the Act's validity, providing them with access to pension benefit provided that they satisfy the minimum length of payments (30 years).

In addition, older persons may join if they are not receiving pension benefits or if they are receiving such benefits for an amount that is not higher than the minimum income (as at September 2015 this was 4,299 Argentinian pesos (ARS)). In all cases, the aim is to cover persons with a higher degree of social vulnerability.
