The the second installment will be paid between May 25 and June 5.

“By law, you are entitled to the thirteenth person who, during the year, received the benefit of retirement pension, death pension, sickness benefit, accident benefit or incarceration benefit. In case of programmed termination of the benefit, scheduled before from December 31, 2020, the proportional amount of the annual bonus will be paid to the beneficiary, “the INSS reported.

Those who receive assistance benefits (Continuous Benefit of the Organic Law of Social Assistance – BPC / LOAS and Monthly Income for Life – RMV) are not entitled to the 13th salary.

Also due to compliance with quarantine and respect for social isolation, the government discontinued face-to-face service at INSS and suspended the need for a life test to receive benefits.

The branches are closed until April 30, with the possibility of extending the term depending on the course of the coronavirus pandemic in the country.

The agency reports that all services provided in person, related to retirement, pensions for death or illness, are carried out through the Meu INSS application, the gov.br portal of the federal government or the call center 135.

• I need to apply for my retirement or other INSS benefit. As I do?

The INSS beneficiaries’ life test is suspended for 120 days. The law states that each year whoever receives benefits must prove to the government that they are alive. The measure prevents fraud and improper payment of benefits.

This test is always in person and can be done at an INSS agency, at embassies and consulates or at the home of retirees and pensioners with limited mobility.

As a result, a number of other procedures previously necessary for the maintenance of benefits were also suspended. Are they:

1. blocking of benefit credits for not performing life tests on beneficiaries residing in Brazil or abroad;
2. exclusion of power for lack of renewal or revalidation after 12 months;
3. suspension of the benefit for not presenting a prison sentence;
4. suspension of the benefit for not presenting CPF;
5. Suspension of benefit for failing to submit a document proving the regular progress of the legal or fiduciary guardianship process when dealing with an interim administrator, beyond the 6-month period;
6. send invitation letters to beneficiaries with inconsistent or missing registration data identified by the Benefit Payroll Compliance Verification System – SVCBEN and available in the Benefit Payment Data Quality Panel – QDBEN; and
7. suspension of benefits due to the impossibility of executing the professional rehabilitation program.
