In the document, the Minister of Economy, Paulo Guedes, modified some points of Decree No. 10,410 / 2020, of June this year, which updated the regulations after the text of the pension reform.
Thus, now, the insured will maintain the benefits for 12 months (grace period) in cases of disability and retirement due to disability. The period is when the individual does not contribute to the system, but maintains the right to benefits.
The previous decree had reduced the grace period to just one month. However, the text was again modified by the Government, which established the previous rule.
How was the one month rule?
According to the decree, “the insured who received the sickness benefit, if he stopped contributing, from the following month he was discharged, he would no longer be entitled to INSS benefits,” as explained by Adriane Bramante, lawyer and president of the Brazilian Institute of Social Security Law (IBDP).
“Now, the government returns to this issue, guaranteeing a 12-month grace period to the insured who had the disability benefit and stopped contributing to Social Security,” explained the lawyer.

INSS retirement amount for 2021
In accordance with Budget proposal 2021, OR minimum salary proposed by the Federal Government is R $ 1,067 by 2021. The new value represents a increase of R $ 22 in relation to the current minimum wage of R $ 1,045. In this way, the value of the pensions paid by the INSS will follow the value of the minimum wage.
After increasing minimum wage planned for 2021, INSS benefits will also be adjusted based on this amount.
Thus, if the government continues with the proposal of R $ 1,067 for 2021, the current 35 million retirees and pensioners will have a readjustment of 2.10% in 2021. The payment ceiling would exceed the current one R $ 6,101.06 for R $ 6,229.18.
The increase is not considered a real gain, that is, above inflation, since current minimum wage, No value of R $ 1,045, was defined based solely on the 2019 inflation. Therefore, purchasing power is stagnant.
