At BELISARIO SAS, we are committed to keep you informed about the most important current issues.

What happened to the Pension Reform?

The recent decision of the Constitutional Court to return the Pension Reform Law to the House of Representatives to correct procedural defects in 30 working days, implies that the entry into force on July 1, 2025 is paused. July 1, 2025 is on hold. This situation reaffirms Law 100 of 1993 as the pension framework currently in force. The reform proposal seeks, among other objectives, to establish a system of pillars (solidary, semi-contributory, semi-contributory). (solidarity, semi-contributory and contributory)..

Despite the decision of the Constitutional Court, affiliated individuals may still request the transfer of pension system. To do so, they must comply with the requirements established in Law 100 of 1993 and Article 76 of Law 2381 of 2024. Specifically, women must have seven hundred and fifty (750) weeks of contributions and men must have nine hundred (900) weeks of contributions.
