The Social Security Fund (CSS) announced that on April 17, it will disburse the second half of the month along with a permanent $50 bonus aimed at retirees and pensioners, although the entity warned that the benefit will not apply to everyone. According to the official calendar, the payment will be made simultaneously for those who receive their income through bank transfer (ACH) and for those who withdraw by check at agencies. However, CSS reiterated that there is a determining requirement to access the bonus: to have been active on the payroll until June 14, 2024. Those who do not meet this condition, or are not part of the established programs, will be excluded from the financial contribution. The benefit is aimed at retirees of the Invalidity, Old Age and Death (IVM) program, pensioners of the Mixed Subsystem, and beneficiaries of Professional Risks, as long as they maintain their active status within the system. The institution emphasized that this payment is part of the measures adopted by law to reinforce the income of the retired and pensioned population, amidst the economic pressures facing this sector. The $50 bonus, considered permanent support, continues to be monitored by beneficiaries, especially given the restrictions that determine who can access it.
