I think it's a good idea to start a new thread about this as some members might miss posts about this in the super long "Western Union money transfer" thread and, as a result, not be able to pick up funds at a WU agency if they don't have a DNI and a CUIL/CUIT.

It is not yet clear if the recipients of future transfers who don't have a CDI will have to have to provide the senders with this information in order for them to initiate the transfer or only provide a copy of the certificate of the CDI when picking up the funds and/or if this requirement only takes effect after X number of traansfersw or X number of months.
It's my "best guess" that AFIP may be looking for individuals who have been living in Argentina long enough to be considered taxable residents, regardless of their immigration status and perhaps even regardless if they have stayed in Argentina as a result of the "time freeze" on 90 day visas.
I can imagine AFIP telling anyone who stayed because of the time freeze that it did not give them an exemption from being liable to pay taxes on their foreign income.
Here's the info on how to get a CDI provided by gracielle:

Hey folks. picked up my western union transfer today and was told that i wouldn't be able to do another transfer without a CDI. Does anyone know what that is or how to get one? Neither I nor my argentine girlfriend have ever even heard of it.

How to obtain the Identification Code - CDI?
The Identification Code (CDI) has a temporary validity, since it is delivered for the exclusive performance of some procedure or for a certain period of validity. This Identification Number can be requested by individuals and by undivided estates only in cases where they do not have CUIT or CUIL, and are in need of opening a bank account, carrying out some type of financial operation or acquiring assets that imply their mandatory registration in official entities.![]()
¿Cómo obtener la Clave de Identificación – CDI? - Mi-Cuil.Com
Además del CUIL y del CUIT existe otra clave para las personas físicas y las sucesiones indivisas, llamada Clave de Identificación (CDI) que cuando por razones especiales y en casos particulares no se disponga de CUIT ni CUIL puede ser solicitada para la realización de determinados trámites.

For foreigners who are not residents, the presentation of a valid and legal passport is sufficient.
Complete and submit Form 663, in duplicate, at the AFIP office that corresponds to the address of the person requesting the CDI.
Present the documents that correspond to each situation and that we have previously indicated in the required documents section, with an original and a copy. The AFIP will verify all the documentation that is attached and will give you a sealed copy of the approved form and with the Identification Code (CDI) granted by said procedure. This is a free procedure and the CDI is temporary.
