INSS policyholders may have an increase in the value of benefits

Retirees and pensioners of the National Institute of Social Security (INSS) may have an increase in the value of benefits. Three bills proposed in the National Congress extra payments to Social Security beneficiaries.

The resource could be used to satisfy basic needs. For example, payment of companions, food purchase, medications, among others. The idea is that the insured are free to use the money. Get to know each of the proposals!

Bill 191/19

The text provides for an additional benefit of up to a minimum wage (R $ 1,045, in 2020) for INSS insured persons. The project aims to provide salary subsidies for the PIS / September up to R $ 1,045 for retirees. Currently, when the taxpayer retires, he is not entitled to the salary bonus to which he would be entitled if he worked.

However, to be entitled to the benefit, the insured would have to meet the following requirements:

  • earn up to 2 (two) average minimum wages or social security benefits;
  • Have been registered for at least five years in the PIS-Pasep Participation Fund or in the National Registry of Workers.

Bill 1075/2019

Also pending in the National Congress, the proposal suggests a 25% increase in the amount of the monthly pension of all INSS retirees who need help from third parties.

Currently, the additional is intended for disability pensions. However, the project aims to deliver the resource to any retiree who needs a companion to carry out day-to-day activities.

With the PL, the term “due to disability” would be eliminated, so that, in this way, all retirees who need help from others are paid. The proposal was attached to PL-5690/2016.

Project 3

Last but not least, the third proposal provides a new benefit that guarantees the Exemption from income tax (IR) for INSS policyholders. For now, the Federal Senate is also working to exclude retirees and pensioners from next year’s balance sheet.

The Social Affairs Committee (CAS) of the legislature recently approved bill 4,198 / 2019, which addresses the issue. According to the proposal, the income from retirement and pensions paid by the INSS, up to the maximum limit (R $ 6,100), may be exempt from the collection of taxes when the insured reaches 60 years of age.

Today, Law 7,713, of 1988, establishes the exemption of income from retirement and pensions, transfer to the paid or retirement reserve paid by the Social Security of the Union, the states, the Federal District and the municipalities, by any legal person of national public law or by private pension entity, from the month in which the taxpayer reaches 65 years of age.
