Fonavi: Congress gives the green light to partial payments for former contributors

The Plenary Session of the Congress of the Republic approved this Thursday, October 12, with 94 votes in favor, a new text of the signature observed by the Executive Branch, which seeks to make possible the return of contributions to Fonavi with charge to a subsequent cancellation of the total debt. It is estimated that 1.8 million people could benefit in the short term if the rule is enacted.

“The ad hoc commission is authorized to make payments on account in favor of the Fonavista, without limiting its right to receive an additional amount, as long as greater contributions are accredited,” the new text states.

In addition, for the return, priority will be given to those over 60 years of age, those registered with the National Council for the Integration of Persons with Disabilities (Conadis) and those who have a serious or terminal illness, whether the owners or relatives. If you do not have the necessary documentation to support the contribution period, but there is evidence that you worked during the contribution period, The ad hoc Commission may carry out the calculationexplained Congressman José Luna Gálvez ( Podemos Peru).

This initiative has been promoted by Congress to begin the return of the more than S/2,000 million that is available today. It should be noted that when these resources among the Fonavistas are exhausted, the Executive must transfer S/50 million that were approved as part of this year’s public budget on account of the total debt.

What is missing for partial payments to be approved?

In August, the Government of Dina Boluarte questioned this proposal and sent its observations to Congress. The Economy Commission reviewed the proposals and prepared a new text of the signature contained in bills 696/2021-CR and 4702/2022-CR. Therefore, the document must be sent to the Executive, who will have 15 business days to officially publish it or review it again.
