Overview

• An internal opinion from the Órgano Administrativo de Justicia classifies personnel with new appointments or transfers as nuevo ingreso due to required resignations, removing access to private major medical insurance and individualized separation savings.
• The Sindicato de Trabajadores del Poder Judicial de la Federación submitted a formal objection, arguing the interpretation violates constitutional protections and urging the OAJ to distinguish between true new hires and existing staff with new posts.
• The guidance covers judges elected on June 1 and other staff who changed posts from September, including moves from the SCJN or the Electoral Tribunal to the OAJ or the Tribunal de Disciplina Judicial.
• The OAJ document says affected workers could recover the benefits only by returning to their base position, leaving newly appointed personnel without those perks for now.
• The interpretation fuels uncertainty over whether ministers in the new Sala de Justicia de la Nación will retain benefits listed on the SCJN site, as the restructured system pursues cost-cutting under the judicial reform.
