O Official Diary of the Union publishes, this Thursday (15), Provisional Measure (MP) No. 1,144, of December 14, 2022, which opens an extraordinary credit in favor of the Ministry of Labor and Social Security, in the amount of R$ 7,564,496,198.00.
According to the Ministry of Economy, the amount will be used to pay expenses with social security compensation and benefits from the General Social Security Regime Fund, with R$ 5,778,175.00 for the benefits area and R$ 1,785,023.00 for pension compensation.
“The MP observes the requirements of urgency and unpredictability required by the Constitution, since there has been growth with these characteristics in expenditure, caused, among other factors, by the recent de-damming of the queue of applications”, says the ministry.
According to the folder, the provisional measure signed by the President of the Republic, Jair Bolsonaro, is also compatible with the recent understanding of the Federal Court of Auditors (TCU), which “points out as a requirement the unpredictability of the expenditure, when the insufficient allocation can lead to the interruption of a mandatory expenditure. Social security expenditure has this character, and its discontinuity could generate losses for beneficiaries”.
