Mexico retirement fund withdrawal regulations

Overview

In Mexico, workers currently have the legal option to make partial or total withdrawals from their Afore retirement funds under specific conditions, such as marriage or unemployment. Financial authorities have noted that unemployment withdrawals require a minimum of 46 days without formal employment and can reduce the number of weeks contributed to social security institutions, potentially impacting future pension amounts.

Following these existing regulations, the Mexican Senate is reviewing a legislative proposal to reform Article 191 of the Social Security Law. This initiative seeks to formalize and protect the process of partial withdrawals during unemployment by basing them on a worker’s real average base contribution salary. The proposal aims to prevent fraudulent activities by unauthorized intermediaries and establishes specific withdrawal limits based on the length of time an account has been open and the worker's contribution history.
