CGA. Pension refund required during preliminary hearing
The correction of 3,000 pensions by the CGA remains unclear after the president's hearing. The Bloco de Esquerda raised concerns about employers demanding repayments during the ongoing preliminary hearing period. They highlighted that the Moita Municipality requested pensioners to return the difference between paid and corrected pensions without providing legal basis or calculation details. The Bloco questioned the government's awareness of these demands and the CGA's communication with employers regarding new values. They also inquired about the legal grounds for these repayments during the preliminary hearing and requested a suspension of such collections until the hearing concludes. The CGA stated that the corrections were not directed by the government, attributing them to misinterpretation of the law regarding pension calculations.
