O Government approved on Thursday, in the Council of Ministers, the extraordinary supplement that will be awarded to pensioners receiving up to eur 1,611,39, in support ranging from eur 100 to 200 and will be paid in december.
The announcement was made by the Prime Minister, Luís Montenegro, in a statement to the country, without any questions, from the official residence, in São Bento, in Lisbon.
How much will you get?
As had already been advanced by the Minister of Finance, Luís Montenegro explained that the extraordinary supplement “will be of eur 200 for those receiving a pension up to eur 537,13” (the equivalent of an IAS), from eur 150 for those receiving between eur 537,13 and eur 1,074,26 (the equivalent of between one and two IAS) and eur 100 for those receiving between eur 1,074,26 and eur 1,611,39 (equivalent to between two and three IAS).
“You will be paid with the December pension and will cover more than two million pensioners“, he added.
In previous years, the support was awarded by pensioner and not by pensioner, so those who received several pensions saw these amounts added to determine whether or not they were entitled to.
According to a note published on the Government website, and similar to previous years, thepoio “will not be considered for the purpose of the Solidarity Complement for the Elderly“ (CSI).
The Government estimates to spend EUR 400 million on this measure and, according to the Minister for Finance, the support will be paid between 7 and 8 december together with the pension of this month.
Government says it is a response to “increased cost of living”
In the statement, the Prime Minister stated that the Portuguese day-to-day “is loaded by a legitimate and justified concern about the increase in the cost of living”, and, despite stressing that the country has no “influence on the origin of this crisis”, he acknowledged that it is felt “its impact”.
“ Therefore, and for everyone’s sake, we must balance social responsibility with financial responsibility,” added Luís Montenegro.
In addition to the extraordinary supplement for pensioners, the Government has approved a number of other measures, including the bill to lower the IRS rates from 1st to 6th step, which will drop between 0.3 and 0.5 points and the extension of the green railway pass to the urban transport services of Lisbon and Porto, including the Fertagos line.
This extraordinary supplement for pensioners with lower reforms had already been announced on 8 September, during the debate in Parliament on the motion of censure of the Aquis to the Government.
