Chile PGU pension payments fail, thousands of elderly affected
BioBío ChileLO·CL·1 day ago
A file error at Bice Vida delayed PGU and other benefit deposits for some Chilean pensioners on September 15, with knock-on effects for in-person collection on September 17. The Instituto de Previsión Social attributes the issue to the insurer, but the scope and resolution timeline remain unclear. This affects a vulnerable population's access to essential funds, though it appears to be an administrative glitch rather than a systemic failure.
