The Civil Service Pension Fund (Caixa Geral de Aposentações or CGA) will notify pensioners this month to return money paid in excess due to a technical calculation error. The agency denied reinterpreting pension regulations, explaining that a system parameter issue caused the incorrect disbursements. Affected retirees will be permitted to repay the amounts in interest-free monthly instalments.

The Caixa Geral de Aposentações (CGA) is Portugal's public sector retirement fund, managing pensions for civil servants hired before 2006. State employees hired after that date are enrolled in the standard Social Security (Segurança Social) system instead. The institution oversees retirement and disability benefits for hundreds of thousands of former public-sector workers, including teachers and administrative staff.
