Court Rules That Municipal Guards Do Not Have The Right To Special Retirement From INSS. Brazilian Federal Court Reaffirms That The Category Is Not Included In The Role Of Security Agents Entitled To The Benefit.

The decision of the Supreme Federal Court confirmed that municipal guards do not have the right to special retirement from INSS, ending a legal dispute that had been dragging on for years. The judgment took place in the virtual plenary between August 1 and 8 and was reported by Minister Gilmar Mendes, who emphasized that the 2019 Social Security Reform established a closed list of categories eligible for the benefit.

According to a report from Folha de S. Paulo, this means that municipal guards will continue to be subject to general retirement rules, such as minimum age and contribution time. The decision disappointed the category, which expected to be equated with civil and federal police after being included in the Unified Public Security System (Susp).

Why Municipal Guards Were Not Included

The understanding of the Brazilian Federal Court is that the special retirement from INSS can only be applied to the categories expressly listed by the constitutional amendment of 2019. Among them are federal, highway, civil, military police, and prison agents.

What May Change In The Future

Despite the decision, there are still legislative loopholes. Projects in progress in Congress, such as PL 42/2023 and PLC 245/2019, aim to expand the scope of special retirement and could potentially include municipal guards in the future.

Furthermore, there is anticipation surrounding the ruling of Topic 1,209 of the court, which will discuss the right of security guards to special retirement. If the court recognizes this right, the decision could open the door for new discussions about the situation of municipal guards.

Current Retirement Rules

Without access to special retirement from INSS, municipal guards must follow the transition or permanent rules established by the 2019 reform:

Minimum age: 65 years for men and 62 years for women.
Contribution time: 35 years for men and 30 years for women.
Transition rules: 100% toll of the remaining time, points system (age + contribution) or progressive minimum age.

Experts emphasize that only unhealthy activities or those involving exposure to harmful agents, such as mining, asbestos, and radiation, entitle one to special retirement and not merely the hazardous nature of the job.

Impact Of The Decision

For the category, the decision represents a setback in the demands for recognition of the risky activity, especially considering the formal inclusion in Susp. For the government, on the other hand, the decision preserves the sustainability of Social Security, as the expansion of categories could increase the system’s expenses.

The decision of the Brazilian Federal Court regarding special retirement from INSS makes it clear that, at least for now, municipal guards will not have access to this benefit. The change can only come through Congress or new understandings in future rulings.

And you, do you believe that municipal guards should have the right to special retirement from INSS or do you agree with the decision of the Brazilian Federal Court? Share your opinion in the comments — the debate is essential to understand the impact of this measure on public safety and Social Security.

Libya built over 4,000 kilometers of underground pipelines to bring water from the Sahara to coastal cities in a project that the government itself called the Eighth Wonder of the World.

Desert sand, previously discarded for being too smooth for concrete, becomes an ecological brick in the United Arab Emirates, dispensing with Portland cement, curing at room temperature, and attempting to transform dunes useless for construction into raw material for a new arid engineering.

He transformed an abandoned plastic water tank into an underground house in the “hobbit hole” style, using only repurposed pallet wood, without heavy machinery or expensive labor.

Toyota launches “family hybrid van” with 7 or 8 seats, 1.8 hybrid engine, fuel consumption of up to 23.8 km/l, and a price equivalent to about R$ 104,000 without taxes, below the Tiggo 8 Pro Plug-in Hybrid sold in Brazil: meet the Noah Hybrid 2026 in Japan.

China transforms desert-devastated area into the world’s largest artificial forest, planting trees for 60 years, blocking sand that reached Beijing, and creating a “green lung” of 92,000 hectares in a region once considered lost.

With 70 tons of rock removed by hand and an 800-year-old abandoned cave, a former businessman transforms a dark shelter into a modern home carved in the heart of the forest.

Scientists have created a material six times lighter than air, 75 times lighter than styrofoam, and that becomes stronger the more it is compressed: aerographite seems impossible, but it can reinforce structures, batteries, and satellites.

Largest investment per capita in Brazil: city receives R$ 1 billion in sanitation, invests 322% above the national average, and gains a new ETA capable of supplying an additional 1,270 liters of water per second.

Neither washing machine nor laundry: the trick that helps eliminate odors accumulated from sweat, humidity, and dust, restores the volume of pillows and duvets in a few hours, and is surprising those seeking convenience at home.
