'Nobody will want to receive a pension beyond what is legal': CGA error leads to a 93 euro 'cut' in pensions
The government confirmed a computer error at the Caixa Geral de Aposentações (CGA) that led to the overpayment of approximately 3,000 pensions. Affected retirees are now required to repay the excess amount received, with the Ministry of Labour offering options on how to manage the repayment.
Why it mattersIf you are a pensioner receiving payments from the CGA, check your recent statements; if you were overpaid due to this error, you will be required to return the funds, though you can negotiate the repayment terms with the authorities.
