Chile pension deadlines for people who left

We list every obligation we have verified in Chile's pension system that runs on a time limit for someone who no longer lives there. Each row says what starts the clock, how long it runs and what is lost, with the official source and the date we checked it. We hold 2 rows for Chile. Where an official source is silent, we say so on the row rather than guess.

Pick the year and we open the free checker with Chile already selected.

ChileForfeiture
What starts the clock
The source does not state what starts the clock
How long
More than 180 days outside Chile in a calendar year, counted continuously or in aggregate.
What is lost
The PGU is extinguished, not suspended. For someone living abroad it is effectively unavailable.

The Pension Garantizada Universal (PGU) is extinguished, not suspended, where the beneficiary spends more than 180 days outside Chile in a calendar year, counted continuously or in aggregate. For someone living abroad the PGU is effectively unavailable.

ChileProof of life
What starts the clock
The source does not state what starts the clock
How long
Suspension after six continuous months without collecting; three months to supply evidence once IPS requests it.
What is lost
Payment suspended. IPS writes to the address it holds, which for an absent beneficiary is usually out of date, so the letter that starts the three months is the one least likely to arrive.

Two further PGU clocks: suspension after six continuous months without collecting, and three months to supply evidence once IPS requests it. IPS writes to the address it holds, which for an absent beneficiary is usually out of date, so the letter that starts the three months is the one least likely to arrive.
