The head of the National Social Security Administration (Anses), Fernanda Raverta, will be the main speaker at the informative meeting that will be held this Wednesday by the Social Security and Welfare Commission of the Chamber of Deputies to analyze the “Debt Payment Plan Social Security”.

The initiative, which already has half the approval of the Senate, establishes a pension debt payment plan that would allow some 800,000 people who do not have sufficient contributions to access retirement.
The project is on the agenda of extraordinary sessions called by the Executive Branch until February 28.
The issue was on the agenda of the last session called in the Chamber of Deputies, which was frustrated due to lack of a quorum.
In the case of this Wednesday’s meeting, because it is an informative meeting, it is not necessary to gather a quorum, with which the intention of the ruling party is to listen to different specialists prior to treatment in the session room.
What is the bill about?
The bill, introduced in the Senate by Anabel Fernandez Sagastiestablishes that people of retirement age but without the required contributions may regularize missing periods up to the month of December 2008, inclusive, with a method of payment in installments that will be discounted directly from the retirement credit obtained through the Program.
Likewise, the initiative contemplates the possibility that people of pre-retirement age (women from 50 to 59 years old and men from 55 to 64 years of age) who know that they will not arrive with the necessary years of contributions, can anticipate and begin to pay for the missing periods themselves.
According to a report by the National Social Security Administration (Anses), nearly 800,000 residents throughout the country will not be able to access their retirement in 2023 if the Pension Debt Payment Law is not enacted.
According to a report made by Anses, the 800,000 people who would be harmed would be distributed in the following provinces: 268,000 in Buenos Aires; 91 thousand in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires; 54 thousand in Cordoba; 48 thousand in Santa Fe; 29 thousand in Mendoza; 23 thousand in Tucumán; 22 thousand in Misiones; 22 thousand in Chaco; 21 thousand in Salta and 21 thousand in Corrientes.
In addition, the lack of the law will affect 17 thousand people in Entre Ríos; 17 thousand in Formosa; 15 thousand in Santiago del Estero; 10 thousand in Jujuy; 10 thousand in San Juan; 10 thousand in Chubut; 10 thousand in Neuquén; 10 thousand in Río Negro; 9 thousand in Santa Cruz; 8 thousand in San Luis; 4 thousand in La Pampa; 4 thousand in La Rioja; 4 thousand in Catamarca and 2 thousand in Tierra del Fuego.
