Here is the summary of how the pension bonus in February 2026 went. ANSES confirmed that it maintained the monthly mobility scheme, so all pensions were adjusted according to December's inflation, which was 2.84%. With that, the minimum pension increased from $349,299 to $359,219.42. Not bad considering how things were.

What many were waiting for was the extraordinary bonus of $70,000 paid in February 2026. This boost was granted to retirees with the minimum pension, beneficiaries of PUAM, and pensioners for disability or old age. If you earned a little more than the minimum, you received a proportional bonus up to $429,219.42. The payment was made automatically along with the monthly pension according to the DNI.

The interesting thing is that the pension bonus in February 2026 did not increase in its nominal value, but it still helped mitigate the impact of inflation on lower-income sectors. Basically, it was like maintaining purchasing power at that time. If you're a retiree, you'll already know how all this works; if not, now you have an idea of how the payment scheme was during that period.
