Social Benefits Loans and Family Allowance Payment Calendar – Key Dates and Deadlines

The Banco de Previsión Social (BPS) of Uruguay has announced a competitive examination for administrative assistant positions, with applications open from April 28 to May 12, 2026, as part of its ongoing recruitment efforts to strengthen public social security administration.

The announcement, published through official BPS channels, specifies that the concurso (competitive examination) is for auxiliares administrativos (administrative auxiliaries) roles within the institution. Candidates must meet eligibility criteria including Uruguayan citizenship or legal residency, completion of secondary education, and absence of disciplinary or criminal records that would disqualify them from public service.

Applications will be submitted exclusively through the BPS’s online portal during the designated window, with no extensions permitted beyond May 12, 2026. The examination process will include written tests assessing knowledge of public administration, social security legislation, and basic computer skills, followed by interviews for shortlisted candidates.

The BPS, Uruguay’s autonomous social security agency, manages retirement, disability, survivor, and family allowance benefits for over 1.5 million contributors and beneficiaries nationwide. This recruitment drive aligns with the institution’s strategic plan to modernize service delivery and reduce processing times for social benefits, particularly in light of increasing demand for digital administrative support.

Successful candidates will be appointed to permanent positions within the BPS’s central or regional offices, with salaries determined according to the national public sector pay scale for administrative auxiliaries, adjusted for seniority and location. The institution emphasizes that the selection process is merit-based, transparent, and open to all qualified applicants regardless of gender, age, or background.

The BPS advises applicants to monitor its official website and social media channels for updates on examination dates, test locations, and final results, which are expected to be published within 60 days of the application deadline. No fees are charged for participation in the concurso.
