IMSS Pension: Reasons why payment can be lost
The IMSS Pension can be withdrawn for various reasons.
Lack of weeks of contributions: If a worker does not have a minimum of 775 weeks of contributions, established by the IMSS, they may lose the right to the corresponding payment. It is important to take into account that this number increases by 25 weeks each year, until reaching a total of one thousand weeks of contribution by the year 2031.
Death without the minimum number of weeks: If a person affiliated with the IMSS Pension dies without having reached a minimum of 150 weeks of contributions, the corresponding payment is cancelled. In addition, this situation directly affects the partner of the deceased, who also loses the widow’s pension.
Loss of current rights: It happens when you stop contributing to Social Security. The agency provides a period equivalent to 25% of the weeks quoted; therefore, the fewer weeks they have contributed to the IMSS, the less time the established rights will be preserved.

Minimum pension for disability not reached: If the affiliate suffers a disability that is not related to work, he is obliged to comply with a minimum of 250 weeks of contributions from the date of the medical report. This requirement may vary depending on the context of the worker.
Work without informing Social Security: It is not prohibited to return to work if you have the IMSS Pension, but the problem arises when the agency is not informed about this situation. It is essential to wait a period of six months from obtaining the pension before returning to work, in addition to not occupying the same position previously held and earning less than 50% of the last salary received.
