What happens if my employer makes my contribution for the month following the deadline?
The employer must make the payment of the worker’s contributions until the fifth business day of the month following the month worked. If he does not do so within this period, he must assume the payment of default interest, which will be deposited into the pension fund.
What happens if my employer does not pay my contribution for the month?
If the employer does not pay the contribution, the AFP will carry out the corresponding administrative and/or judicial collection procedures in order to recover your contributions. This, in addition, might affect some of the worker’s benefits, such as, for example, pension insurance coverage might be suspended until payments are regularized.
What happens to my money if I stop working and therefore stop contributing monthly to the AFP?
If you stop working and contributing to the AFP, the money accumulated in your pension fund continues to be yours and gains profitability. However, you should know that some of your benefits would be affected, as, for example, it happens with your pension insurance coverage that is deactivated following 4 months of not having made contributions.
How do I get my insurance coverage back?
Your insurance coverage will be active as long as you have 4 contributions within the last 8 months before the accident. Therefore, to recover your insurance coverage, you need to contribute to the AFP once more.
