What is the Pila and how will it work with the pension reform?

A few days ago, the Congress of the Republic established a quorum for pension reform in Colombia , and under this issue, several citizens are asking about the functioning of the Integrated Contribution Settlement Form (PILA). What does it consist of?

According to information that Colpensiones published on its official X account (previously known as Twitter), they confirmed that it is a system through which the corresponding Social Security payments are made in the country. Due to the entry into force of Law 2381 of 2024, the agency indicated that some important changes will be made. "Self-employed workers, when making their contributions through PILA, must indicate whether they belong to the transitional regime or not, so that the system redistributes their contributions correctly. For dependent workers, the employer will be in charge of making the correct marking on this form," they specified.

If this amount is higher, it will be allocated to the Administrators of the Complementary Individual Savings Component (Accai). "The Ministry of Health is responsible for regulating these adjustments to the Pila collection and distribution system," they concluded.
