From January 2015 to November 2019, 19 lists were established for the return of contributions to the defunct National Housing Fund (Fonavi). Just over a million older adults were able to recover their money.
The outbreak of the pandemic coincided with a ruling by the Constitutional Court in which it was agreed to improve the remuneration of Fonavistas, since until list 19, the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF) delivered S/10 for each month of contribution. “They were stealing our money because they adjusted our money (to be returned) to the smallest amount possible,” laments the president of the Ad Hoc Commission, Luis Luzuriaga.
A health catastrophe and five presidents had to happen for payments to be resumed to 64,272 older adults who make up list 20. Of this group, 23,831 have not yet withdrawn their money, which is available to them at any branch of the Banco de la Nation.
What is missing for the new schedule?
Following consensus, the Ad Hoc Commission agreed to reward the contributions to the Fonavistas who, despite being registered in the first 19 lists, did not access their money. In detail, there are 71,079 beneficiaries: 63,251 are owners and 7,828 are heirs. S/51 million 810,623 will be available for partial payment.
“We have already agreed (to create the new group) and now it is up to the Banco de la Nación to enter the information into its database before the end of the month. Probably, the date (payment start) will be the first days of February, starting on the first, which is Thursday. “Everything depends on the operation of the bank,” Luzuriaga mentioned to La República.
Far from being fair
Despite the dissonance between the amounts – considering that some Fonavistas received S/46 and others, up to S/6,000 – Luziriaga emphasizes that the Certificate of Recognition of Contributions and Rights (Cerad) will allow payments to be adjusted in future deliveries, and He remembered that they are called “payments on account” for a reason.
The Fonavista leader also questions that the payment of this social debt does not respond to a just cause, since it is far from guaranteeing dignified and equitable remuneration.
The State owes Fonavistas a total of S/42,000 million, considering not only the contribution of the worker but also that of the employer. However, a recent ruling by the Constitutional Court cut 90% of the social debt and now only S/6,000 million will be delivered. The Ad Hoc Commission only has a fund of S/2.3 billion for the new payments.
Along these lines, Luzuriaga warns that the Government of Dina Boluarte, despite labeling the public budget as historic, did not consider a single cent for the funds of the Ad Hoc Commission: they have more than S/2.3 billion to return contributions and S are pending /3.5 billion that the MEF, to date, has not injected. They will consider requesting additional credit.
The data
- It won’t be lost. If a Fonavista on list 20 has not yet withdrawn their money, it will continue to be available in any National Bank.
- Relevance. With CERAD, Fonavistas who did not have all their contributions recognized will be able to receive a greater amount.
- 63% of the Fonavistas on list 20 have already received their money, reported the Ad Hoc Commission.
- 90% of the total debt to Fonavistas was cut by the TC: from S/42,000 million to S/6,000 million.
