With the upcoming activation of online registration, retirees and pensioners can ensure they receive their payments in an orderly manner and without setbacks. The Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF) reported that retirees and pensionees awaiting payment of the Negotiable Payment Certificates for Default Interest (Cepanim), corresponding to 3% of the second installment of the thirteenth month withheld between 1972 and 1983, must complete a registration process on the institution's website. The platform to carry out the registration must be ready this month of April. The MEF recommends that beneficiaries be attentive to updates on its website and prepare the necessary documentation in advance. It should be remembered that Cepadam included the payment of the capital and interest at 3%, while Cepanim only considers the default interest generated until 2017. The law that gave rise to these payments was approved by the National Assembly in 2022, but was initially returned by the previous Executive for reasons of inconvenience. After reviewing the objections, the Assembly approved it by insistence in a third debate on October 26, 2022. This measure benefits both public servants and private sector workers who worked during those years. According to the MEF, the payment of the overdue interest exceeds 2 million dollars.
