State Pension Reform II TAL

closed

The Second State Pension Reform Technical Assistance Project for Brazil will upgrade state pension management (Public Officials' Pension System for civil servants) thereby significantly reducing unwarranted pension claims, improving financial sustainability, strengthening state and federal institutions, and building reform constituencies. There are 5 components to the project: 1) Upgrade state pension cadastres for all branches of government through validation of individual registers and upgrading pension and HR systems. 2) Refine, install and train state officials in the use of the Government's leading edge pension software (SIPREV) and its actuarial, benefits and payroll modules and cross reference SIPREV with extant systems to upgrade data bases and eliminate unwarranted claims. 3) Support implementation of the unified state pension administrator by developing and disseminating an agency prototype and providing hardware and software required to accommodate cadastre upgrade and SIPREV. 4) Strengthen state institutions through training and dissemination activities and state stakeholder workshops. 5) Strengthen the Ministry of Social Security through studies and debate of disability and health insurance, conduct of actuarial analyses in each state, support for the State Association of Pension Officials, pension publications and consultant and logistics support to assist state participants.
