On May 15, 2025, the National Workers’ Housing Fund Institute (Infonavit) published in the Official Gazette of the Federation (DOF) the legal period granted to employers to adjust their administrative systems. This is in order to comply with the reform of Article 29 of the Infonavit Law, which was originally published on February 21, 2025.
Key aspects of the Notice:
- Continuity of deductions: The reform establishes that payroll deductions for housing loans will not be suspended due to absences or disability leave, in accordance with the Social Security Law.
- Protection of legal certainty: The principle of protection of legitimate expectations is recognized to prevent abrupt changes that affect both employers and workers.
- Adaptation period: The Infonavit Board of Directors, through resolution RCA-14500-03/25, approved a transition period for employers to make the necessary adjustments to their internal processes.
- Implementation deadline: The adjustments must be mandatorily applied in the payment of wages for the 4th two-month period of 2025 (July–August), setting September 17, 2025 as the deadline.
Purpose of the notice
The main objective of this notice is to provide certainty and legal certainty to the parties involved, avoiding adverse effects arising from the transition to the new reform.
