Refund of CGA pension corrections demanded before prior hearing concludes, Bloco denunciates
The Bloco de Esquerda party has questioned the Ministry of Labour after public employers, such as the Moita municipality, reportedly demanded that pensioners immediately refund overpaid pension amounts sent by email, bypassing the prior hearing period and legal repayment frameworks. The issue follows the CGA's correction of 2,937 pensions issued between May and August after a reinterpretation of calculation rules for long-serving public sector retirees.

If you are among the public sector retirees affected by the recent Caixa Geral de Aposentações pension corrections, employers are reportedly demanding immediate repayment before the conclusion of your prior hearing rights, though the government has been asked to intervene and suspend these collections.ObservadorRead original ↗
