AGU consults STF on R$ 533 million credit for perks
AGU asks STF to clarify impasse over R$ 533 million for MPU and Federal Justice servers' benefits. Understand the risks to the fiscal target.
TL;DR
- The Federal Attorney General's Office (AGU) is seeking guidance from the Supreme Court (STF) on how to pay R$ 533 million in accumulated server benefits.
- The Public Prosecutor's Office (MPU) and Federal Justice claim insufficient funds for immediate payment of bonuses like seniority additions and unused leave.
- The MPU requests R$ 324 million, and the Federal Justice Council seeks R$ 209 million for these payments.
- The Ministry of Planning questioned the urgency, stating that server benefit payments do not constitute a constitutional emergency.
- The payments, referred to as 'penduricalhos' (perks), are extra sums added to base salary, sometimes exceeding the constitutional cap.
- The STF previously mandated the immediate implementation of a 5% bonus for every five years of legal activity, potentially reaching 35%, for active and retired personnel by June 2026.
