In response to the inquiries received about the Fe de Vida procedure, the National Social Security Administration (Anses) recalled this Friday that banks are responsible for such accreditation.

“Since November 2020, on several occasions, the pension agency has asked banks to simplify the procedure so that people can prove survival without having to go to branches,” explained the agency led by Fernanda Raverta.

In this regard, he added that on February 17, publicly, “entities were again required to use all available digital methodologies to offer the possibility of accrediting the Faith of Life, choosing how to carry out this procedure.”

Likewise, Anses celebrated this morning the progress achieved by various banking institutions, which are already directly processing the accreditation of survival “without requesting any action from retirees and pensioners”.

After being suspended last year, the procedure also known as “survival” became a requirement since last March 1, so that retirees and pensioners can collect pension payments without having to go to branches.

In this regard, as directed by the National Social Security Administration, banks should offer the possibility of digital proof of survival, providing all available methodologies. It is important to keep in mind that the procedure is completely free.

What is the procedure for and who is it for

Survival control allows you to prove your Faith of Life in order to be able to receive retirement assets without problems. The procedure must be carried out monthly or quarterly, as appropriate.

It is aimed at retirement and pension holders who collect their assets every month. “Be sure to check with your bank how and how often you have to accredit the Faith of Life. There are banks that no longer request it and others that give it up using the debit card to make purchases. Therefore, it is very important that you contact the bank where you collect your credit every month,” said Anses through its official website.

What is needed

According to the agency, the bank where one collects retirement or pension is responsible for accrediting the process of Fe de Vida.

The most commonly used digital forms are:

-Make purchases with the debit or credit card associated with the bank account.

-Put the fingerprint on totems located in banks.

-Approach a Biometric Self-Consultation Terminal in the Anses.

-Use the mobile applications of banks.

In the event that the collection of having been suspended as a result of not having carried out the Faith of Life, it may be reactivated once the person or his representative makes it, without the need to carry out an additional procedure, although the next payment may take up to 60 days.

The National Social Security Administration assured that they will continue to urge that each bank branch simplify management “as much as possible” so that no retiree or pensioner has to queue for this procedure.
