Workers Exposed to Risks Can Secure Early Retirement Without Waiting for the Normal Time Required by INSS
Today, many Brazilians celebrate the possibility of early retirement thanks to a special INSS modality, allowing workers in certain categories to say goodbye to work long before the minimum age.
Working less, retiring earlier, and living better. This is the promise of special retirement, a right aimed at professionals who have spent years exposed to risks. Those who have faced challenging situations, such as electricians, nurses, and miners, can breathe a sigh of relief, as they can retire before the regular time without having to wait for the minimum age that the INSS typically requires.
What Is Special Retirement
Special retirement is a benefit created to protect workers facing adverse conditions in their daily lives. Those who work in environments with harmful agents (chemical, physical, or biological) or in high-risk areas have the right to request this type of early retirement. This modality recognizes that these professionals face challenges that can impact their health over the years.

The professions that benefit the most from this rule include electricians, healthcare professionals, miners, and other workers who operate in dangerous environments or that pose health risks. For those in these sectors, early retirement is a valuable opportunity to rest earlier than expected, without compromising financial security.
Rules to Retire Before the Minimum Age Set by INSS
To be eligible for special retirement, certain requirements must be met. One of the key requirements is the contribution time to INSS, which ranges from 15 to 25 years, depending on the level of risk exposure. The 2019 pension reform brought important changes, including the need for a minimum score that combines age and service time.
Workers who were already in the market before the pension reform can retire with the following scores:
- Low Risk: 86 points and 25 years of contribution
- Medium Risk: 76 points and 20 years of contribution
- High Risk: 66 points and 15 years of contribution
For those who started working after the pension reform, the rules are a bit stricter. In addition to the contribution time, a minimum age is required to request retirement: 60 years for low-risk activities, 58 for medium risk, and 55 for high risk.
How to Apply
The process to apply for special retirement is done digitally, through the Meu INSS website or app. The step-by-step is simple:
Access the Meu INSS platform and log in;
Select the option “Retirement by Contribution Time”;
Fill in the necessary forms and attach documents that prove your exposure to risk conditions;
Track the process and provide additional information if requested.
This digital process has greatly facilitated the lives of workers, who can now request retirement without having to leave home.
What Are the Advantages of Special Retirement?
In addition to the possibility of retiring earlier than expected, the special retirement provides a number of benefits, such as:
Anticipation of retirement: the worker can retire before reaching the traditional minimum age of the INSS;
Preservation of health: this retirement modality recognizes the impact that adverse working conditions have on health;
Financial security: workers secure a stable and dignified income after retirement;
Recognition of work: the State acknowledges the effort and sacrifice of those who work in dangerous or unhealthy conditions.
Understanding the INSS Benefit Number
For those requesting retirement, understanding what the Benefit Number (NB) of INSS is essential. This 10-digit code, assigned to each insured person, is essential for tracking information about retirements, pensions, and other benefits. With it, you can check payment statements, schedule appointments, and even request payroll loans.
Knowing your benefit number also provides more security and control over your rights. It is a way to avoid fraud and ensure everything is in order.
The Impact of the Reform on Retirement
The 2019 pension reform changed the retirement landscape in Brazil, and for those seeking special retirement, these changes brought more requirements, such as the minimum score. However, the possibility of anticipating retirement remains a significant advantage for those who have worked in risky conditions.
For many Brazilians, this is the opportunity to retire at 40 or 50 years old, without having to wait until 60 or 65, as is the case with traditional INSS retirement. It is a relief for those who have spent years dealing with daily challenges, knowing that health and well-being are being valued.
So, if you are an electrician, miner, nurse, or work in any profession that deals with risk, special retirement may be the way to bid farewell to work and start a new phase of life, with more time to enjoy family, health, and the rest you deserve.
