Justice decides that military cannot accumulate additional; Union can save R $ 3 billion

The Federal Court has ruled that the military cannot receive, simultaneously, the additional time of service (ATS) and military availability compensation (ACDM). With this, the Union expects to save about $ 3 billion a year. The decision was from the National Class of Uniformization (TNU) of the Federal Justice Council (CJF), and continued argued defended by the Attorney General of the Union (AGU).

The decision states that federal special courts and appeal classes across the country bar accumulated receipt by members of the army, the Navy and the Air Force.

Decree of August 2020 already prohibited the accumulation of the two additional, pointing out that the military or the deceased military pensioner would be assured of receiving the most advantageous additional.

However, members of the forces questioned this decision. The argument is that limiting accumulated remuneration would hurt the principle of irreducibility of salaries and the acquired right.

The uniform class, however, unanimously welcomed AGU argument.

According to the Union lawyer, Luís Felipe Cabral Pacheco, in a statement issued by the agency, the decision “pacifies the issue, reduces the judicialization and represents significant economy of public resources to the Armed Forces, contributing to enable, from the budgetary point of view, the continuity of their relevant institutional missions”.

The Military Availability Compensation Additional is a monthly remuneration installment due to the military because it is permanently available and with exclusive dedication throughout the career.

This benefit focuses on various percentages about the soldier, depending on the post or degree, and may reach 41% in the event of squadron admirals, army generals or brigadiers.
