President Javier Milei announced that he will not be taking advantage of the retirement benefits that he could be entitled to under the law. He stated that he will not request a retirement under a regime that does not require minimum contributions or age, opting instead to be subject to the general retirement system like all citizens. This decision reflects a personal statement with political implications, especially considering his plans to veto proposed changes to pensions for retirees.
Despite his announcement, legal experts point out that Social Security benefits are universal, comprehensive, and inalienable under the National Constitution. While individuals can donate or assign their benefits, they cannot refuse the benefits themselves. This is to prevent any extortive actions that could harm vulnerable individuals affected by various contingencies.
In light of Milei’s decision, experts clarify that he could not request a retirement benefit while in office, but can do so under ordinary retirement laws once he leaves his position. His announcement, while significant politically, does not have any legal obligations attached to it. The confusion around his announcement further highlights the complexities of Social Security laws and regulations.
