Overview
- The government published Resolution 144/2026 on Thursday to formalize an INTA voluntary retirement regime that took effect Monday.
- The offer applies only to permanent staff and runs through May 31, with a one-time option to extend the window by 15 days.
- Payouts equal 1.5 times a worker’s gross monthly pay per year of service, calculated on January 2026 salaries with a 10.3% update and seniority counted through March 31, with caps that reduce the total for those 61 and older.
- Workers who accept leave their posts on June 15, face a five-year bar on returning to the national public sector except for teaching at national universities, and receive the lump-sum payment within 30 days of exit.
- Rules exclude staff who turn 65 by May 31, those prosecuted or convicted for crimes against the public administration, employees with ongoing labor suits against the State, and people under serious disciplinary or pension proceedings.
- Internal estimates cited in coverage project about 20% of INTA’s roughly 5,700–5,800 employees could enroll—around 950 workers—at a compensation cost above 101 billion pesos, reflecting the government’s wider reorganization push.
