Briefings

The Caixa Geral de Aposentações (CGA) corrected 2,937 pension payments in Portugal between May and August 2026, which were calculated above the legal limit. The error stemmed from a parametrization error in the calculation system, causing workers with over 40 years of service to receive 90% to 100% of their last monthly salary instead of the capped 90% allowed by law. The CGA clarified that this was not a legal reinterpretation but a system failure that did not account for the 2005 reform, affecting pensioners who met specific criteria from 1993 to August 2026.

Key points

• The CGA corrected 2,937 pension payments in Portugal between May and August 2026, which were calculated above the legal limit.
• The error affected pensioners who met specific criteria from 1993 to August 2026, resulting in monthly payments reaching 90% to 100% of their last salary.

Context

This correction follows a previous notification on April 4, 2026, where the CGA announced it would fix 2,937 pension payments. The issue arose after the 2005 reform of the Portuguese pension regime, which introduced a 90% cap on pension bonuses. The CGA clarified that the error was due to a system parametrization issue rather than a legal interpretation change, affecting pensioners with long public service careers.

Limitations

The evidence covers only the specific case of 2,937 pensioners affected between May and August 2026. It does not provide data on the total number of pensioners affected nationwide, nor does it include information on the specific dates of the 2005 reform or the exact impact on other pensioners not meeting the specific criteria.
