Chihuahua, Chih., May 23, 2025
Dear Clients and Friends,
We hereby inform you that on May 15th, 2025, a DECREE was published in the Official Gazette of the Federation, whereby INFONAVIT granted employers an extension regarding the recent amendment to Article 29 of the Institute’s Law, consisting of the elimination of the suspension of housing loan repayment discounts in the event of the absence or disability of workers.
The foregoing is in view of the need to grant employers an adaptation period, during which they can make the technological and process adjustments necessary for implementing the amendment to Article 29 of the INFONAVIT Law.
Therefore, the aforementioned provision will apply to the payment of salaries for the fourth bimester of 2025, i.e. July and August, which must be made by 17th September 2025 at the latest.
Finally, it should be noted that, once the amendment has been applied by the companies, a period of 15 business days will elapse before amparo proceedings can be filed, specifically against the second paragraph of Article 29 of the aforementioned Law.
For further information on this topic, please contact Mr. Sergio Humberto Salas Medrano, Partner of the Tax and Administrative Area, at the e-mail address ssalas@iclmx.com and on the cell phone number (614) 235-47-47.
