Health regulator applies almost 500 thousand euros in fines in the first six months of the year

The Health Regulator (ERS) applied almost 500 thousand euros in fines during the first six months of the year. This information comes in a context of inspection and regulation of the health sector in Portugal.

In the second half of 2025, the value of fines applied by ERS was even higher, exceeding 660 thousand euros. This amount refers to 184 enforcement proceedings concluded during that period.

ERS is the entity responsible for regulating and supervising entities operating in the health sector in Portugal, having the authority to apply financial penalties in case of non-compliance with applicable rules.

Do you receive a salary every month? This doesn't mean you are excluded from these Social Security benefits

This article clarifies that receiving a salary does not automatically exclude workers from Social Security benefits in Portugal. It addresses the family allowance, which can be granted to children of working parents depending on household income; the Social Integration Income, which can coexist with work income with these being partially counted (80% or 50% in the first 12 months); partial unemployment benefit, which allows accumulation with part-time work; and the Social Inclusion Benefit, which was specifically created to accumulate with professional income for people with disabilities. The article warns that starting December 2026, the RSI will be replaced by the Single Social Benefit, but other benefits will maintain their own regimes. Each situation is analyzed individually, and a salary may not prevent access but can reduce amounts or exclude rights if income limits are exceeded.
