Proposal, presented during a conciliation hearing in the Supreme Court, provides that payments are made every 15 days from the starting date
O informed this Tuesday (24) to that the agency may begin the reimbursement of irregular discounts in the benefits of retirees and pensioners on July 24. The proposal was presented during a conciliation hearing convened by the Court to address the matter. According to the proposal, the payments would be made every 15 days from the starting date. Each lot should rely on 1.5 million beneficiaries. The values will be corrected by the Broad National Consumer Price Index (IPCA), an official inflation indicator.
According to INSS President Gilberto Waller, the payment schedule will depend on the validation of Minister Dias Toffoli, rapporteur of the action that deals with discounts in the Supreme Court. “We have several situations that could raise doubts in a judicialization, such as correction rates, statute of limitations, liability for the moral damage of the INSS. We needed a piece that could have a great deal, to have a definitive solution for retirees and pensioners,” he said.
The president of the institute also assured that the INSS will make the full return of discounted values. “Our idea is that, quickly and quickly, will compensate everyone in full,” he added. According to the INSS, about 3.4 million retirees recognized irregular discounts after being notified by the Institute to comment on the irregularities.
Conciliation
The conciliation hearing was called in the context of the action filed by the Attorney General of the Union (AGU) to request that the reimbursement be evaluated by the Supreme. Last week, Dias Toffoli ordered the suspension of the prescription of lawsuits filed in court in search of reimbursement. The decision applies to all indemnity claims of retirees and pensioners who were injured by undue discounts.
However, the minister failed to analyze AGU’s requests to open extraordinary credit in the budget to enable the reimbursement and exclusion of Union spending ceiling values for the years 2025 and 2026. The national suspension of shares dealing with payment was also not analyzed. According to Toffoli, the requirements will be analyzed during the processing of the action that deals with the issue in the Supreme.
Blockages
To date, the Federal Court has blocked R $ 2.8 billion in assets of companies and investigated involved in the fraud in irregular discounts in the benefits. The frauds are investigated in the Federal Police Operation without Discount, which investigates a national scheme of unauthorized associative monthly discounts. It is estimated that about R $ 6.3 billion were deducted from retirees and pensioners between 2019 and 2024.
