Please clarify the provisions of Act No. 13.478.

ARTICLE 3 - Regular retirements to be granted by the National Provident Funds, whose assets begin to accrue after the validity of this Act, shall not be bonified with the emerging supplements of Law 13.478, and shall be determined subject to the following scale:

Up to $1,000 average salary, 100%.

They should be included in the aforementioned $200 bonus as provided for in Decrees 7.025/51 and 6,000/52.

ARTICLE 4 Retirements, established in accordance with the above provisions, may not exceed 90 per cent of the average salary of the twelve best consecutive months to be computed for the purpose of calculating the retirement average. Cases for which emergency regimes exist are exempt from this provision, based on the special nature of certain activities. For the purpose of determining the maximum retirement established in this article, the bonuses referred to in Article 7 shall not be taken into account.

(b) 2 1/2 per cent for each surplus year, when the required age is 50 years.

The amount of the bonus may not be higher, in any case, at 25 per cent of the retirement, and will only be effective in relation to the age surpluses that are served in service, after the date on which the Fund establishes it.

ARTICLE 8 Supplements and bonuses of benefits accrued from 1 July 1954 and those granted under the provisions of this Act shall be provided by the National Provident Funds. Where the funds, by their financial statement, are unable to pay for or establish the supplements and bonuses, they shall be covered by the provisions referred to in the following article.

Each box shall establish, in respect of its regime, the activities to be considered discontinuous for the purposes of this article.

ARTICLE 12. - No compensation shall be considered for the purposes of the foresight laws for the amounts paid in respect of gratification linked to the termination of the working relationship, in the amount exceeding the annual average of which it has previously received on a regular basis.

In respect of amounts that are not considered in the computation, the boxes should make appropriate adjustments for contributions and contributions.

ARTICLE 13. - Remuneration from the discontinuous work referred to in article 11, shall be deemed to be referred to as long as it is committed under such work.

ARTICLE 14. - It is understood by base remuneration for the purpose of determining the retirement, the monthly average of the remuneration received in the five years immediately prior to the end of the service, or that resulting from the monthly average of five years continuous or discontinuous calendars, for which it would have contributed to the fund of the box, provided that the latter is more favorable for the participant.

In the case of equidistance, the multiple of ten more favorable to the person concerned will be taken.

It should be understood that the right of the deceased has been in charge of the deceased participant or beneficiary, when the lack of the contribution amounts to an essential imbalance in the particular economy.

ARTICLE 18. The regulation may provide that the amount of pensions provided for in the existing laws is up to 75% of the retirement, according to the family charges.

ARTICLE 19. Half of the pension is for the widow or widower, if the children, parents or siblings of the offender are granted under the conditions of the preceding article; the other half shall be distributed between them by head.
