Payment to beneficiaries of Refund Group 2 was initially scheduled for July. However, the implementation of this measure has been delayed due to the absence of government representatives at the meetings of the Ad Hoc Commission for the defunct National Housing Fund (Fonavi). Jorge Milla, a representative of the National Federation of Fonavistas and Pensioners of Peru, indicated to La República that there is insufficient support from the executive branch of the Presidency of the Council of Ministers (PCM).
Recently, the guidelines were approved to define which affiliates will be part of this group of FONAVISTAS eligible to receive a refund of their contributions from the Banco de la Nación. Below are all the details regarding the beneficiaries of Refund Group 2, the potential payment date, and who is currently accessing their money.
Fonavi 2024: Who are the members of Refund Group 2?
Although the guidelines to determine the members of the Refund payment group 2 have been established, the list of beneficiaries for this new refund is still being finalized. As reported by Jorge Milla, a representative of Fenaf, in a previous interview with La República, the following affiliates will be included in the aforementioned list:
- Individuals over 70 years of age, registered with the National Council for the Disabled (Conadis), and patients with serious or terminal illnesses.
- Relatives of deceased fonavistas who were 93 years of age or older at the time of their passing.
What is the payment date for refund group 2?
According to Jorge Milla, the deadlines for finalizing the payment date for Refund Group 2 have not yet been established due to delays from the technicians at the Presidency of the Council of Ministers, where members of the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF) participate. This is evident from the absence of representatives from the Executive at the Ad Hoc Commission meetings for two consecutive weeks.
However, Milla suggested that the new group of beneficiaries should receive their funds by the end of August. There is an activity schedule that outlines the dates for these refunds to be processed. Therefore, at the next meeting of the Ad Hoc Commission, the list will need to be finalized in accordance with the already approved guidelines.
“The technical unit’s proposal is to make the Refund 2 payment in the last week of August. This is complicated for us because people were expecting, as previously announced, that in July there would be ‘Reintegro 2’. We have urged the technical secretariat to make an effort to move that date forward; people need their money,” he explained on radio Exitosa.
Which fonavistas are currently receiving payments?
The process of partial refunds to workers who contributed to the now-defunct National Housing Fund (Fonavi) began in December of last year. As of now, these are the beneficiaries who can collect their refunds at the Banco de la Nación:
- Payment Groups 1 to 19: FONAVISTAS from previous lists who, for various reasons, were unable to collect their contributions.
- Payment Group 20: former contributors over 60 years of age, individuals with disabilities registered with Conadis, those with terminal illnesses, and their heirs.
- First Reintegration Group: FONAVISTAS from lists 1 to 19, primarily citizens over 80 years of age who have already received a portion of their contributions.
