Judicial Administration Sets Nov. 27 Electronic Severance Payout for Ousted Judges

The shift follows protests over the original plan for in‑person check distribution.

Overview

  • The payout replaces a Dec. 10 in‑person check pickup in Mexico City that would have required lining up with a witness.
  • By law, severance equals three months of integrated salary plus 20 days per year of service, along with other benefits funded by the federal government.
  • Reports vary on the number of beneficiaries, ranging from more than 600 to nearly 800 judges and magistrates.
  • Recipients say the OAJ has not provided individualized calculations or clarified whether amounts are based on base pay or integrated salary, so they await deposits to confirm totals.
  • The OAJ advised recipients to observe bank transaction limits and provided official email contacts for questions.
