The prohibition to cut benefits was extended by the INSS until December, in cases in which the beneficiaries cannot carry out professional rehabilitation. The decision is in Ordinance 1,070, which was published on Thursday (22), in the “Official Gazette”.
Rehabilitation is an INSS program, the objective of which is to reintegrate insured persons who receive disability benefits into the labor market.
According to the agency, the purpose of the program is to help policyholders during the period of the coronavirus pandemic. This and other measures have been adopted by the institute since March, when the pandemic began in Brazil.
The lawyer of the Ieprev (Institute for Social Security Studies), Roberto de Carvalho Santos, reports that the INSS regulations face the decision to reopen branches in the country, and with that, not all positions are still fully operational.
“For professional rehabilitation to exist, a multi-professional process of social and medical assistance is required. Sometimes an agreement must be signed with another institution. So it is a whole set of actions to conclude professional rehabilitation, which is a multifactorial measure. It must be done within a complete structure and the INSS, nowadays, is not in a position to complete professional rehabilitation in my opinion ”, he says.
