THE APPLICATION OF THE QUARTERLY UPDATE PERCENTAGES OF RETIREMENT ASSETS, ESTABLISHED BY CURRENT LAW, PLUS THE ARBITRARY BONUSES, WITHOUT A PRIOR EMERGENCY INCREASE DUE TO THE ACCUMULATED LOSS OF PURCHASING POWER, MAINTAINS THE MOST OF THE RETIRED AND PENSIONERS @S BELOW BASIC SUBSISTENCE NEEDS. The Minimum Retirement pocket plus the Bonus, in June will be $84,000.-, in July $86,000.- and in August $89,000.-. This shows the distance to cover the Basic Basket of an elderly person, which on March 31 was already $202,000.- and that increases with the monthly inflationary indices in food, housing expenses, medicines and basic subsistence components ; aggravated situation for those who receive the PUAM and that produces a flattening for those who exceed two minimum wages, who are not granted the arbitrary Bonus. An emergency increase (proportional on all scales) is urgently needed so that there is no pension fund below the Basic Basket. THE INSSJYP-PAMI- TURNED 52 YEARS OLD ON 05/13/2023.
