Government prepares pension bonus 'similar' to 2025's

Expresso8 September 2026 at 23:41

The Prime Minister announced this afternoon a tax relief on IRS and a new pension bonus, but the specific details about these measures have not yet been revealed. The measures were presented as part of a broader set of government policies to support taxpayers and pensioners.

Joaquim Miranda Sarmento, speaking on SIC Notícias, only stated that the pension bonus will be 'similar' to the one practiced in 2025. This was the only concrete information the minister revealed about the nature of the new support for pensioners.

In 2025, pension bonuses ranged between 100 and 200 euros, depending on various factors that were not specified in the article. The government chose not to detail the criteria used to determine the exact values of this new bonus.

Portuguese citizens will have to wait for more information to learn the specific amounts of the new pension bonus, as well as the eligibility criteria, since the Executive has deferred those clarifications to a later date.

Making Things Happen

This is a political opinion article in which the author reflects on two ways of understanding politics: a passive one, of letting days go by, and an active one, which requires making decisions, taking on responsibilities, anticipating, defending justice, and working to transform reality. The author states that since he took over the Presidency of the Deputación, he has been clear that the institution should be at the service of making concrete things happen, and not just letting time pass without action.
