Paulo Guedes’ team prepares this proposal to make room in the Budget to finance the Renda Brasil program, new Bolsa Família

During an interview with the G1 portal on Monday (14), the special secretary of Finance of the Ministry of Economy, Waldery Rodrigues, said that the economic team of the federal government wants the benefits of social security – retirements and pensions – to be separated from the minimum salary. That would make a pension freezing.

Without adjustments for two years, the pension freeze
It would give space in the federal budget to finance the Renda Brasil program, the new Bolsa Família. Rodrigues affirmed that the freeze would be both for pensions for the amount of the minimum wage and for the highest, for a period of two years.

“The deindexation that we directly support is that of social security benefits for those who earn the minimum wage and above the minimum wage, without a simple and direct rule (correction). The benefit today is R $ 1,300, next year, in Instead of being corrected by the INPC, it would remain at R $ 1,300. There would be no reduction, there would be maintenance, “said the secretary of the Ministry to the G1 portal.

Rodrigues confirmed that the idea is being considered together with the Ministries of Civil House and Citizenship, but said that the government
has not yet closed any decision on the matter.

Today, the values ​​of retirements
and pensions are readjusted according to the minimum wage, annually. The Constitution determines the readjustment of the minimum wage at least for inflation and benefits are also readjusted, at least, for inflation.

See or pension freeze
It is approved, retirees and pensioners in the country would have their benefits frozen at current value.
