Social security retirees surge in nine months
During the first nine months of 2026, there was an unprecedented increase in the number of Social Security retirees, rising from 392,000 at the end of 2025 to 422,000 by the end of September 2026, an increase of 30,000 retirees, averaging 3,300 per month, with a growth rate of 8%. It is expected that the number of new retirees during the year will approach 40,000, an all-time record. This increase is attributed to the rush to early retirement to avoid potential legislative changes and to benefits offered by the private sector, which puts pressure on cash flows and threatens the sustainability of the pension system. Proposed solutions include halting forced retirements, adjusting early retirement conditions, incentivizing continued work through financial benefits and insurance, and reducing insurance fraud to strengthen the financial position of the institution.
