Over 2.2 million benefits are still under review by the INSS
A total of 2.3 million disability benefits or pension death by the National Institute of Social Security (INSS) were fixed. The adjustment occurs after the institute review over benefits paid 17.4 million between 2002 and 2009, because of an agreement signed in August 2012 between the INSS, the Federal Public Ministry and the National Union of Retirees and Pensioners Force Association , approved by the Federal Court in Sao Paulo.
According to the INSS, the numbers refer to the amount of benefits reviewed and not of persons entitled to review, since an insured may hold one or more successive benefits. As an example, a person who received sick pay and, after a while, the benefit was converted into disability retirement. Thus, there is a new benefit, but it is the same insured.
Policyholders who have differences receivable 454 000 benefit assets and have been updated after the revision. The remainder of these are benefits in that the payment has been suspended, but delayed values are receivable. Over 2.2 million benefits are still under review by the INSS.
According to the INSS, the correction of these benefits impact on R$ 49 million per month the payroll of the institute. Per year, the increase will reach R$ 637 million, considering the bonus. The payment schedule of values will follow until late 2022. It is expected that approximately R$ 6 billion will be paid by the institute during this period.
The citizen who is eligible for a matching receive at home and do not need to look for an agency Social Security, since the review is automatic. Seniors entitled to lower values will have priority.
The insured can verify that the review will receive Social Security on site and through the call center 135, which runs from Monday to Saturday from 7am to 22pm. The new value is not reported in these channels.
