A prominent specialist has issued a warning that Uruguay's Social Security Administration (BPS) is providing incorrect guidance to retirees regarding the possibility of returning to work. The expert asserts that the BPS's advice may be leading retirees astray on crucial matters of pension and employment.
According to the specialist, the BPS is allegedly failing to properly advise retirees about the nuances of the recent social security reform. This reform introduced the option of flexible partial retirement, a provision intended to offer retirees more options for re-engaging with the workforce while still receiving a portion of their pension.
The core of the issue appears to be the BPS's interpretation and application of the new law. The specialist contends that in certain instances, the administration's actions or advice could be in direct contravention of the legislation, potentially disadvantaging retirees who are seeking to benefit from the partial retirement option. This situation raises concerns about the BPS's capacity to accurately implement and communicate the provisions of the new social security framework.
the organism is failing in some cases with the law of the social security reform that incorporated the possibility of accessing partial flexible retirement.
