One-off pension supplement of €100 to €200 to be paid on 7 December. CGA pensioners will get it on 18 December
Segurança Social, Portugal's social security system, has announced when pensioners will receive the one-off pension supplement: on 7 December, together with the December pension. Those who receive their pension through CGA (Caixa Geral de Aposentações, the civil servants' pension fund) will be paid on 18 December. There is no need to apply: the money will be paid automatically.
The amount depends on the size of the pension. Pensions of up to €537.13 a month get an extra €200; those over €537.13 and up to €1,074.26 get €150; those over €1,074.26 and up to €1,611.39 get €100. Pensions above €1,611.39 get no supplement. We have already written about how this supplement works.
The supplement is paid on old-age, disability and survivors' pensions granted no later than 30 November 2026, and also to banking sector pensioners. It is not paid on occupational disease pensions or on other payments made as compensation for damage. No IRS income tax is withheld from the supplement, it cannot be seized for debts, and it will not reduce the CSI (complemento solidário para idosos) pension top-up.
