History of the AFRPS

Creation and Evolution

By Law 3.739 of February 24th, 1911, the Military Pension Fund was founded, thus establishing the Military Social Security system from an institutional point of view.

By Law 10.273 of November 12th, 1942, the Military Pension Fund becomes a legal entity and on October 13th, 1956 the Constitution and Legislation Commission of the Senators' Chamber unanimously concluded that it should have administrative autonomy.

By Law 12.803 of November 30th, 1960, the Military Pension Fund changes its name to "Military Retirement and Pension Fund."

By Law 14.157 of February 21st, 1974 and Law 14.189 of April 30th, 1974, the Military Retirement and Pension Fund, up to then a State legal entity with its own patrimony and administrative autonomy, becomes the "Military Retirement and Pensions Service", directly dependent on the Ministry of National Defence. (Article 145 of the last of the above mentioned laws stipulates that: "Include in Section 3 - Ministry of National Defence - Section 31 - "Military Retirement and Pension Fund" as a sub-division of the above mentioned section which will be called "Military Retirement and Pensions Service." This enactment does not modify neither the legal status of the passivities under its charge nor the patrimony affected to them.")

Finally, by Law 16.320 of November 1st, 1992, the Service is again renamed to its present denomination: "Armed Forces Retirements & Pensions Service."
