The Historical Reparation for Retirees and Pensioners Act (Ley de Reparación Histórica para Jubilados y Pensionados) of June 2016 provides for the current pension benefits of retirees and pensioners to be fully recalculated and where the discrepancies are in the beneficiaries’ favour, settlement offers are offered and which are then subject to judiciary approval to avoid future litigation. A platform was made available to the public which keeps beneficiaries informed, starting with viewing the offers and the designation of a lawyer through to accepting the offer via a biometric signature and generating an electronic file that is automatically sent to a judge for approval. Following the judge’s ruling, the file is automatically sent to the National Social Security Administration (Administración Nacional de la Seguridad Social – ANSES), which then pays the difference in the amount of pension paid and any retroactive dues that may apply.
