The national government, through the National Agency for Disability (ANDIS) and the National Directorate of Economic Support and Allocations, has begun to review approximately 400,000 beneficiaries of Non-Contributory Pensions for Occupational Disability.
These audits, which began in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, are now being extended to other regions of the country. The objective is to verify that the beneficiaries meet the legal requirements to receive this pension.
