- Chile’s Unemployment Fund Administrator said accumulated individual-account balances average about 300,000 pesos.
- People who retire can withdraw all the funds in their accounts, regardless of whether they continue working.
- The article highlights the need for eligible account holders to check their balances and begin the withdrawal process.
Some Chileans may have money waiting in their unemployment-fund accounts even after retirement. The Administradora de Fondos de Cesantía, or AFC Chile, recently reported that accumulated balances average about 300,000 pesos.
The agency explained that people who retire can withdraw all the funds saved in their individual accounts. Their employment status does not affect that right, meaning retirees can request the money whether they are still working or not.
The process requires account holders to check whether they have an available balance and complete the relevant withdrawal procedure. The article urges readers who have not reviewed their AFC accounts to do so, with the average balance presented as a possible payment for eligible retirees.
