Food pensions: Chevesich pressures AFP for payment of 10%

The spokeswoman for the Supreme Court, Gloria Ana Chevesich, met with the Superintendent of Pensions, Osvaldo Macías, to account for the process of payment of maintenance debts due to the withdrawal of 10% of pension funds.

The appointment took place just when the Judiciary is concerned about compliance with payments by the AFPs. The balance that the judiciary has made reflects that so far, out of 270,682 liquidation requests presented, 81% of them have been executed. Of these, 186,212 liquidation notification orders and 99,556 payment orders arise.

Regarding this last figure, in the Judiciary they are analyzing the scenario for the next few weeks, especially considering that eventually Congress will dispatch a second withdrawal of 10%.

Of all the payment orders decreed by the country’s family courts, the AFPs have only issued the payment for 22,471 cases. According to figures from the Judiciary, 3,783 have not been paid and there are another 73,302 to pay. The insurer that has paid the most, so far, is the AFP Provida with 16,551.

For this reason, the judiciary is taking steps, from the IT and human resources field, to be able to increase the number of payment orders issued. This is reflected in the fact that between November 3 and 12 they have dispatched 18,190 orders. The goal of the officials of the Judicial Power is for this figure to increase in the coming days and for that they have assigned judges from the Oral Criminal Courts to carry out reinforcements in family courts.

In the date, Chevesich raised this situation with Macías, with the aim of correcting all the knots that hinder the process. “The attitude of the pension fund administrators has aggravated the situation, because they are not complying with the payment orders issued by said courts,” the minister said yesterday.

That is why he asked the superintendency to “make use of its supervisory powers so that the administrators promptly comply with these orders.” Macías promised to officiate the insurance companies. The goal, Chevesich said, is to have orders carried out “in a timely manner and without delay.”

From the AFPs they promised to comply with all payment orders. “The administrators will not rest until they complete the total of the applications approved by the courts in the shortest time possible,” said the general manager of the AFP Association, Fernando Larraín.
