The base amount of the PNC for disability or old age is $251,453.59.Added to this value is the extraordinary bonus of $70,000, granted automatically to those who receive the minimum benefit.In this way, the total amount for eligible beneficiaries amounts to $321,453.59.
This sum reinforces the income of the sectors that do not have sufficient contributions to access a common retirement and that, due to their condition, require special state support.The amount is updated monthly and is credited along with the usual credit in the bank accounts of the holders.
Mothers of seven or more children also receive a benefit comparable to the minimum retirement, which in February reaches $359,219.42.In these cases, the final sum, including the extraordinary bonus, reaches $429,219.42.
The scheme also includes the Universal Pension for the Elderly (PUAM), which amounts to $287,375.54.With the extraordinary bonus, the total to be collected is $357,375.54 for these holders.
Non-Contributory Pensions are aimed at people who do not meet the requirements to obtain a traditional retirement, but who are in a situation of social vulnerability and meet the criteria established by current regulations.
You can access this pension:
To access a PNC, it is necessary to carry out a procedure with ANSES, which includes the presentation of supporting documentation, the socioeconomic evaluation and the accreditation of the vulnerability condition.The agency verifies that the applicant does not receive another pension benefit or have income that exceeds the established limits.
The Universal Pension for the Elderly (PUAM) is aimed at those who are 65 years old or older and do not meet the years of contributions required for common retirement. This benefit guarantees a basic income and access to medical coverage, in addition to the right to automatic salary update.
The payment of the PNC in February 2026 follows the official schedule defined by ANSES, which organizes the accreditations according to the completion of the National Identity Document (DNI) number of each beneficiary.The objective of this staggered modality is to avoid crowds in banks and collection points, facilitating access to assets in an orderly and safe manner.
The confirmed dates for the month are as follows:
The extraordinary bonus of $70,000 is credited on the same date along with the monthly pension, without the need for additional management by the beneficiary. Those who receive the PUAM and mothers of seven children receive their benefits on the corresponding dates, according to the published calendar.
The amount will be available from the assigned date in the linked bank account, and can be withdrawn both in authorized branches and through the ATM network using the debit card and ID.
All information on amounts, dates and requirements can be consulted on the official ANSES website or through the organization’s mobile application, which periodically updates the data to provide greater transparency and predictability to beneficiaries.
