Overview
- The SCJN Pleno struck down an IMSS rule that limited the pension por ascendencia to lineal ascendants, recognizing caregiving and proven economic dependence beyond traditional kin.
- Originating from Amparo Directo en Revisión 3320/2025, the Court ordered the case of a deceased worker’s aunt back to a colegiado tribunal to be redecided under the expanded family concept.
- The SCJN’s Second Chamber issued unanimous, binding jurisprudence that an IMSS contractual jubilation under the RJP is incompatible with a separate cesantía/vejez pension.
- The double‑pension bar applies to IMSS employees retired under the RJP and does not extend in the same way to private‑sector contributors, closing prior contradictory rulings in federal circuits.
- Separately, the Pleno accepted review (Facultad de Atracción 677/2025) on whether IMSS must return funds from pre‑AFORE individual accounts, a pending matter with no final ruling yet.
