suplemento extraordinário

suplemento extraordinário (one-off supplement)

An extra payment on top of the regular one, granted once by a separate decision — not an increase in the pension or benefit itself. It arrives the same way and on the same day as the main payment; you don't need to apply for it.

Where you come across it. Pensions, social benefits, government announcements of one-off support.
The supplement is a one-off: there may be none next year, and it does not affect the size of your future pension. For who gets it and how much, check the decree in the Diário da República, not a minister's speech.
