What are INSS late payments?

O payment of arrears by the INSS is a regularization of amounts that should have been paid previously for benefits such as retirement, pensions, sickness benefits and others. These amounts may have been withheld for several reasons, such as:

Administrative errors: errors in the initial calculation or delay in granting benefits;
Revisions: retroactive application of legal interpretations or correction of amounts granted;
Court decisions: payment of benefits after court orders in actions brought against the INSS.

These delayed payments can make a significant difference in the lives of beneficiaries, but it is important to understand that this is not an extra payment or bonus. They correspond to rights already acquired and which should have been paid in the past.

Who is entitled to payment of arrears?

The answer to this question depends on the type of outstanding debt. According to the INSS, the main groups of beneficiaries include:

Beneficiaries with legal actions against the INSS: People who have taken legal action to review benefits or correct errors in calculations. Payments are generally made after the issuance of court orders or Small Value Requests (RPVs).
Beneficiaries of administrative reviews: Those who had their benefits reviewed by the INSS itself and identified amounts due retroactively. This may include corrections to retirements, sickness benefits or survivor's pensions.
Insured persons awaiting the granting of benefits: Insureds who have experienced long delays in receiving approval for their benefits may be entitled to retroactive payment for the waiting period.

How do you know if you are eligible?

To check if you are among the beneficiaries, you must consult the INSS or a lawyer specialized in Social Security Law. Some tips to facilitate the process include:

Consult the Meu INSS website or app: there, you can check information about your benefit and possible pending issues;
Follow the legal process: If you have filed a lawsuit against the INSS, consult your lawyer for updates;
Pay attention to official communications: INSS publishes payment lists and can notify beneficiaries through correspondence or messages in the app.

Precatórios and RPVs: what are they and how do they work?

Judicial payments of amounts owed by the INSS are made through two main instruments:

Precatory orders: These refer to amounts above 60 minimum wages. These payments follow an annual schedule established by the Judiciary and may take longer to be released due to the high amount involved.
RPVs (Small Value Requests): Payments of up to 60 minimum wages. They are generally released more quickly, after the amounts have been approved.

The difference between the two is in the amount and payment term. While court orders can take years to be paid, RPVs have priority and are usually paid within 60 days after judicial release.

How is payment made?

Payment of overdue amounts may occur in different ways, depending on the origin of the benefit and the type of process:

For administrative payments: the amounts are deposited directly into the account where the beneficiary receives their monthly benefit;
For court payments: the money is released into court accounts linked to the case. The beneficiary must go to the indicated bank to withdraw the amount.

Important: It is essential to keep your registration data updated with the INSS and the bank to avoid problems with receipt.

Economic impacts of the billion-dollar payment

The payment of R$2,6 billion in arrears is not only good news for beneficiaries, but also for the economy. This resource should inject money into various sectors, helping to boost trade and generate jobs.

According to experts, many beneficiaries use these funds to pay off debts or invest in basic needs, such as health and education. This creates a positive cycle of consumption and income generation.

However, there are also challenges. Paying these arrears represents a significant increase in INSS spending, which could put pressure on the pension budget and require adjustments to public accounts.

Documents required to receive arrears

To ensure that you receive the funds, it is essential to have your documentation up to date. The main documents include:

ID and CPF;
Up-to-date proof of residency;
Letter granting benefit or favorable court decision;
Bank documents to verify payment details.

In legal cases, it may be necessary to present:

Attorney's power of attorney;
Calculations approved by the judge;
Certificate of final judgment of the process.

Organizing these documents in advance can prevent delays in receipt.

Deadlines and payment schedule

There is no single schedule for paying arrears, as it depends on the nature of the process (judicial or administrative) and the type of appeal. In general:

Administrative payments: occur within 60 days after inclusion on the INSS payroll;
Court payments: follow the Judiciary's schedule for court orders and RPVs.

Tip: Regularly monitor communications from the INSS and your lawyer to avoid missing important deadlines.

Are you prepared to receive your right?

The billion-dollar payment announced by the INSS represents an opportunity for regularization and improvement in the lives of many Brazilians. But it is essential to be well informed and prepared to ensure you receive these amounts.
