According to the decree published this Thursday in the Diario da República, the payment of contributions to the State pension certificates will no longer be made on the 8th, moving to the 13th of each month.
“The payment of contributions to the state capitalization scheme is made on the 13th of each month and is related to the month in which it is paid,” the document, which comes into force this Friday, says.
The diploma also changes on the date that the fund participation unit value is published by the Institute for Social Security Financial Management (IGFSS) on the Social Security page from the 15th to the 22nd of each month.
These amendments aim to adapt the extension of the public capitalization scheme and the corresponding pension certificate fund to nationals “covered by the mandatory social protection regime of the country to which Portugal is affiliated by the international social security instrument” for professional reasons. “.
The order now published also specifies that proof of entry into the compulsory social security regime or the date of transition to pensioner status (for participating immigrants) is done by providing a statement from the social security regime or pensions governing body. It is covered by the member without prejudice to the situations where the exchange of information is possible between the competent institutions of the countries with which Portugal is connected to the international social security instrument.
A public capitalization scheme was established in 2008 as an individual and voluntary membership scheme.
