The Brazilian Federal Judges Association (Ajufe) filed clarification appeals with the STF requesting adjustment of the salary ceiling from R$ 46,366.19 to R$ 71,532.30. The entity argues the amount should have been corrected by the IPCA since 2006, citing technical analysis by the STF itself that recognizes approximately 54% devaluation. ✓
