The Minimum Wage Increase Will Affect Benefits Paid by INSS, with Adjustments Granted to Retirees and Pensioners in 2025
Retirees and pensioners from the INSS (National Institute of Social Security) will start receiving their adjusted benefits from January 27, 2025.
The new value of the minimum wage will increase from R$ 1,412 to R$ 1,518, resulting in an increase of R$ 106, or 7.5% more compared to the current value, according to the website economiaaominuto.
Payment for Beneficiaries of Up to One Minimum Wage
Beneficiaries receiving up to one minimum wage, representing about 60% of the total insured, will be the first to receive the new amounts.

Payment Calendar for INSS
For insured individuals earning above the minimum wage, adjusted payments will begin on February 3.
The percentage increase for these beneficiaries has yet to be determined, as it depends on the INPC (National Consumer Price Index), which will be released by the IBGE (Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics) at the beginning of 2025.
How to Check Values and Data
Insured individuals can check their INSS payments in 2025 through the Meu INSS app or website.
It is essential to verify the payment statement between five to seven days before the deposit begins.
To make it easier, the payment calendar varies according to the last digit of the benefit number.
Details of the Payment Calendar
For those receiving the minimum wage, payments will occur between January 27 and January 31.
For beneficiaries earning above the minimum wage, the calendar starts on February 3.
Payment information is organized according to the last digit of the benefit number.
Importance of Checking Deposits
It is essential for insured individuals to verify that the amounts are being deposited correctly, without undue discounts.
This can be done through the Meu INSS app or via Central 135, from Monday to Saturday, from 7 am to 10 pm.
When calling, the beneficiary should provide their CPF number and confirm their registration details.
Payment Movements
Payments can be managed according to the type of account chosen by the beneficiaries.
If the account is exclusively for receiving retirement, pension, or assistance, withdrawals can be made at ATMs, even on holidays.
This convenience helps insured individuals better manage their money and savings.
