Overview

  • Brazil’s Senate, which approved the measure Tuesday in a symbolic vote with one dissent, sent the converted December 2025 provisional measure on DF security pay to the presidency.
  • The government estimates a budget hit of R$203.1 million in 2025 and R$3 billion in 2026 and 2027, and it will eliminate 344 vacant federal jobs to help fund a higher housing allowance.
  • The package lifts base pay for DF military by about 50% with an extra item called VPE scaling by rank, gives Civil Police increases of roughly 24% to 27%, and grants 24.32% to forces in Amapá, Roraima and Rondônia.
  • The text also reshapes careers by merging operational posts in the Civil Police, triggering new hiring once 30% of slots are vacant, and requiring a law degree for new military officers.
  • In parallel, São Paulo lawmakers passed a separate 10% raise for state police that excludes prison officers, and Sergipe approved a package with up to 7% for many employees and 4.26% for security pay.
