The moratorium on social security contributions expired on March 23. The government announced that it will not seek to extend this deadline given the fiscal adjustment plan that has severely impacted the pensions of older people. If Congress does not act, it will directly harm older people’s rights, especially those of women and informal workers. We call on Congress to guarantee an adequate standard of living for older people.
PLEASE TAKE ACTION BEFORE MAY 31, 2025
Honorable Senators, Congressmen and Congresswomen,
I am writing to express my deep concern about the end of the “moratoria previsional” on March 23. According to official data published by the National Social Security Administration, in 2024, only around 30% of retirement benefits were granted without a pension moratorium. So, if Congress does not act, 69% of women and 50% of men will not retire at the age of 60 or 65, forced to alternatives that do not cover the cost of basic needs.
Older people protest weekly for better living conditions, risking repression by the police. Your decisive action must attend to the root causes of older people’s demands. You must also prevent further economic despair, especially for workers in the informal economy, the majority of whom are women, since they have not received Social Security contributions from employers during their work life.
Therefore, I urge you to design and establish a pension system that ensures the right to social security and meets Argentina’s international obligations.
Sincerely,
[YOUR NAME]
