reforma (pension, retirement)

The everyday word for a pension and for retirement itself. In official documents the payment has a different name, pensão de velhice, but in conversation, in adverts and in newspapers you will come across reforma; Brazilians say aposentadoria.

Where you come across it. Anywhere pensions come up, from a job advert to a letter from social security.
On the Segurança Social website you need to search for the official name: the section is called "Reforma e invalidez", and the payment within it is Pensão de Velhice.
