This Friday the deadline to present indications to the project that allows a fourth withdrawal of 10% of the pension funds, as well as a second payment of life annuities, ended.
The president of the Mixed Commission that is reviewing the project, Pedro Araya pointed out that some of these motions offer solutions regarding pensioners for life annuities. The senator pointed out that “the Secretariat of the Mixed Commission is preparing a comparative text in order to be able to discuss and vote on these indications.”
“The package of indications that was presented ranges from suppressing life annuities to approving what the Chamber of Deputies approved at the time and the Senate rejected, modifying some aspects regarding how people who have life annuities could make their withdrawals,” he added , according to slogan Mega News.
Likewise, he stated that “we continue in a round of conversations, both with senators and deputies that make up the Mixed Commission, in order to move closer positions and to have a text that is ratified by both chambers in order that the Chileans can see that the fourth retreat is reality. “
One of the points on which there is no agreement has to do with “untying” this reform of the State of Constitutional Exception throughout the territory, which is no longer in force. They also argue that it is necessary to make some drafting changes in the rules regarding withholdings for alimony.
Another point that does not reach an agreement is the one that says that the highest incomes will not be allowed to access the fourth withdrawal and that the upper sections pay taxes.
Another point is the elimination of annuities or the incorporation of new mechanisms so that pensioners can withdraw part of their funds without generating a greater impact on insurers.
