Agency Has Strict Criteria for Benefit Approval. Find Out How to Avoid Blocks and Keep Your Benefit Active!

With 39.5 million citizens being served, of which 28.5 million receive a minimum wage, the INSS establishes strict criteria for the continuation of benefits. In 2025, the minimum wage is set at R$ 1,518, covering retirements, pensions, and unemployment insurance.
Discover in this article what the main criteria of the INSS are, how to avoid the blocking of the benefit, and what to do if your account is suspended.

Proof of Life: A Mandatory Step to Not Lose Your INSS Benefit
The Proof of Life is an annual mandatory procedure that proves the beneficiary is alive and able to continue receiving the benefit. Currently, this process occurs automatically, through the analysis of banking transactions and other records, such as vaccination and medical consultations.
However, in some cases, it may be necessary to appear in person at an INSS agency to complete the process.
⚠️ Attention: Those who do not complete the Proof of Life within the deadline may have their benefit suspended. Pay attention to notifications from the INSS and follow the guidelines to avoid blocks!
