On Wednesday, August 19, 2026, the Administración Nacional de la Seguridad Social (ANSES) – Argentina's social security administration – announced the payment schedule for August through its official social media channels. Over 7 million beneficiaries will receive their pensions with a 1.89% mobility increase, and those with minimum benefits will also get a non-taxable bonus of $70,000 (Argentine pesos).
📅 August 2026 Payment Dates
The payments follow a strict schedule based on the last digit of the national ID (DNI). Beneficiaries can check their exact date on the official ANSES website. Here is the full calendar for pensions up to the minimum amount:
| DNI ending in | Payment date |
|---|---|
| 0 | Thursday, August 21 |
| 1 | Friday, August 22 |
| 2 | Monday, August 25 |
| 3 | Tuesday, August 26 |
| 4 | Wednesday, August 27 |
| 5 | Thursday, August 28 |
| 6 | Friday, August 29 |
| 7 | Tuesday, September 1 |
| 8 | Wednesday, September 2 |
| 9 | Thursday, September 3 |
Note: These dates apply to pensions that do not exceed the minimum threshold. For higher pensions, ANSES publishes a separate schedule.
📈 1.89% Increase and $70,000 Bonus
As confirmed on July 30, the August adjustment for all social security benefits (including family allowances) is 1.89%. This percentage comes from the mobility formula, which is recalculated quarterly based on two factors: the inflation rate (CPI) and average taxable wages. This mechanism aims to protect the purchasing power of retirees against rising prices.
Additionally, those receiving the minimum pension will get a $70,000 bonus (equivalent to roughly 15% of the minimum pension). This extra payment is paid together with the regular benefit and is not subject to any discounts – it is a net sum. The bonus is part of a broader government strategy to support vulnerable seniors amid economic challenges.
⚠️ Official Warning: Avoid Scams
ANSES repeatedly stresses that it never requests personal or banking information via phone calls, SMS, email, or WhatsApp. It does not offer bonuses, loans, or benefits through these channels. If someone contacts you claiming to be from ANSES, hang up and report it. Always use official channels for any procedure:
- Free hotline: 130 (available nationwide)
- Official website: www.anses.gob.ar
- Mobile app: mi ANSES
💡 Practical Tips for a Smooth Collection
- ✅ Always attend on your assigned date (based on DNI ending) to avoid overcrowding.
- ✅ Bring your national ID and debit card (if using an ATM).
- ✅ Never share your passwords or PINs with anyone, even if they claim to be officials.
- ✅ If you cannot withdraw on the exact day, the funds remain available until the next month – there is no expiration.
