The Social Security Fund (Caja de Seguro Social, CSS) announced that in the second half of April 2026, the first payment of the Permanent Benefits Program for the country's pensioners and retirees will be made. The announcement has caused excitement among many who depend on this fixed income to get through the month. The payment corresponds to a $50 bonus, a small but necessary relief for many. This money is backed by Law 438 of June 14, 2024. The Social Security Fund (CSS) detailed that this bonus goes directly to those who were active on the payroll when the law was enacted, that is, on June 14, 2024. Meanwhile, retirees are already waiting for the calendar, as April comes with this extra money that, although it does not solve everything, adds up. This includes beneficiaries of the Invalidity, Old Age and Death (IVM) programs, the Mixed Pension Subsystem, and also those under Professional Risks. For questions or more information, the entity has enabled phones 513-1101 and 513-1102.
