The Senate approved today (4) the Provisional Measure (MP) 1,119 of 2022, which extends the deadline for federal public servants to opt for the supplementary pension scheme of the Fundação de Previdência Complementar do Servidor Público Federal (Funpresp), which becomes of a private nature. The deadline set by the MP is 30 November. The text goes to presidential sanction.
The opinion was also approved with a change in the calculation of the special benefit, a compensatory mechanism for those who decide to exchange the Special Social Security System (RPPS) for the Complementary Pension Scheme (RPC). Anyone who decides to migrate by November 30 will have the calculation with 80% of the largest contributions. The original text provided for the use of all contributions in this calculation, including the smallest. As of December 1st, the calculation will again be based on the payments recorded throughout the contribution period.
In the opinion for the approval of the MP, Senator Jorge Kajuru, rapporteur for the matter, stated that the measure brings expansion of the right of civil servants to exercise the option for the new supplementary pension scheme, at a time when retirement conditions are significantly altered by the reform. of Social Security.
When presenting the MP, the government argued that the actuarial deficit of the RPPS compromises the maintenance of current benefits. According to Kajuru, only 1,100 servers made the regime migration in the current window, which represents only 0.37% of the 292,181 eligible servers.
“These numbers show a clear frustration in the expectations of the number of civil servants who would opt for migration in this opportunity, as well as the consequent expense of the Union with a contribution to Funpresp below the projected, demonstrating that the option involves not only rational factors, but mainly behavioral factors of the servers”.
private regime
The MP also changes the legal nature of supplementary pension foundations. They are now structured with legal personality under private law. Instead of the Bidding and Contracts Law, they now follow the rules of mixed capital companies. One of the immediate consequences is the end of the salary limit for Funpresp directors. Before MP 1,119, salaries were limited to the ceiling of a minister of the Federal Supreme Court (R$ 39,293.32).
