Chile's Comptroller General has requested information from the IPS regarding potential non-payment or incomplete payment of the Universal Guaranteed Pension (PGU) for September, affecting roughly 53,000 beneficiaries. The move signals an official investigation into administrative failures within a key social program. The scope of the issue and its root causes remain unclear, but it could strain public trust in the pension system.
