Information regarding pension adjustments and child support revisions

Legal and economic updates regarding pension adjustments have been outlined for different contexts. In Portugal, pension increases for 2027 are projected to benefit approximately 90% of retirees with raises exceeding inflation. The adjustments follow a formula based on inflation and GDP growth, categorized by pension brackets measured in multiples of the Social Support Index (IAS). For example, pensions up to 2 IAS are expected to rise by approximately 3.7%, while those between 2 and 6 IAS may see a 3.2% increase.

In Brazil, legal guidelines specify that child support (pensão alimentícia) can be revised, increased, or reduced when there is a significant change in the financial capacity of the payer or the needs of the recipient. Under Article 1,699 of the Civil Code, parties may seek a revision through a judicial action. Changes in income, employment status, health conditions, or educational expenses serve as relevant evidence for such requests, though unilateral changes to established amounts are not permitted.
