After Law 31928 was enacted, which allows partial refunds subject to subsequent cancellation and recognizes the right of money back of the workers who contributed to Fonavi to their heirs in the event of death, the head of the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF), Alex Contreras, provided details on how this rule will be implemented.

In the words of the official, the ad hoc commission, in charge of making the return to Fonavistas effective, has around S/2.4 billion, which could not be disbursed due to an operational issue. However, The new law allows a quick route to initiate payments on account of up to around S/20,000.

“With this rule you only have to demonstrate that you have worked in a place in the period where Fonavi was in force, then, you will see a formula for an estimate of contributions and if you later complete the information, get your receipts, you can claim; if the debt of State If it is greater, they pay you the difference and if it was less, you just stay like that, it is a win or win. There was a threshold of 4 UIT, those details will be given in the regulations,” Contreras Miranda told La República.

Likewise, the head of the MEF announced that the first to receive their money will be the former contributors to Fonavi in ​​a vulnerable situation, which will be specified in the regulations that are about to be issued. In this way, he hopes that payments will begin before December 25.

That is the indication that I am going to give to the members of the MEF who are on the commission, that the payments can arrive by Christmas“, concluded the minister of Economy.
