In Brazil, pension payments ('pagamentos de pensão') are a significant part of the social security system (INSS - Instituto Nacional do Seguro Social), and the government pension payments are crucial for many retirees. Court-ordered pension payments ('pensão alimentícia') for ex-spouses or children are also legally binding and culturally important. In the USA, pension payments represent a key retirement income source alongside Social Security, though private pensions have become less common in recent decades.
