Retirement payment in February 2026: complete schedule and amounts by Anses

In February 2026, the National Social Security Administration (Anses) followed its established payment schedule, disbursing various social benefits according to each beneficiary’s DNI ending. For those needing to know when they would receive their retirement payments, the agency previously published a detailed calendar organizing transfers by benefit category and last digits of the document. This distribution system ensured that all retirees and pensioners received their funds in an orderly manner throughout the month.

Payment Dates by DNI Ending

The payment schedule for February 2026 was divided into three main beneficiary categories, each with its own payment calendar.

For retirements and pensions not exceeding the minimum benefits, deposits were made between February 9 and 20 according to the last digit of the document. Those ending in 0 received their payment on February 9, while those ending in 7 or 8 received theirs on the 19th and 20th, respectively. This staggered approach helped distribute the load on the pension system.

Retirements and pensions exceeding the minimum benefit had a more concentrated schedule, from February 23 to 27. Beneficiaries with DNI ending in 6 and 7 received their payments on February 26, while those ending in 8 and 9 received theirs the following day.

Non-Contributory Pensions (PNC) had their own schedule, from February 9 to 13. Holders with documents ending in 6 and 7 received their funds on February 12.

Updated February Amounts and Additional Bonus

In February 2026, retirement and pension benefits increased by 2.85%, in line with the inflation recorded in December, which was 2.8%. An extraordinary bonus of $70,000 was added to supplement beneficiaries’ income.

The specific amounts were distributed as follows:

• Minimum retirement: $359,254.34 in benefits plus $70,000 bonus, totaling $429,254.34
• Maximum retirement: $2,417,441.64 (without additional bonus)
• PUAM (Universal Pension for the Elderly): $287,403.47 in benefits plus $70,000 bonus, totaling $357,403.47
• PNC (Non-Contributory Pensions): $251,478.04 in benefits plus $70,000 bonus, totaling $321,478.04

Distribution of the Extra Bonus

The $70,000 supplementary bonus was automatically deposited along with the regular monthly benefits. Its main purpose was to provide additional assistance to beneficiaries with lower benefits, specifically those receiving the minimum retirement, Non-Contributory Pensions, and the Universal Pension for the Elderly.

For beneficiaries with higher amounts, the bonus was allocated proportionally, ensuring that the total received (pension benefit plus bonus) never exceeded the cap of $429,254.34. This mechanism aimed to establish a guaranteed minimum income for retirees and pensioners with lower earnings and to maintain system stability.

How to Apply for Retirement with Anses

Those wishing to apply for retirement benefits must initiate the process at the National Social Security Administration by following these essential steps:

First, visit the official Anses website and access the “My Anses” section. Here, you must provide your CUIL (Unique Labor Identification Code) and your social security password.

Second, verify that all contributions are correctly registered. This is done by selecting “Work” and then “Consult Labor History.” This step is critical to identify any contribution gaps.

Third, if missing contributions are found, it is necessary to submit documentation of the worked period. Acceptable documents include service certification, pay slips, social security affiliation receipts, or a sworn statement. Additionally, the form 6.18 must be completed, which is the formal application for pension benefits.

Finally, schedule an in-person appointment at an Anses office. It is essential to bring the original DNI on the appointment day to complete the application process.
