INSS Notified 4 Million Beneficiaries to Take the Life Verification and Informed That Those Who Do Not Regularize Within the Deadline May Have Their Retirement Blocked
The life verification is mandatory to maintain the payment of retirements and pensions. According to INSS, the notification was sent by the bank where the beneficiary receives the benefit and by Meu INSS, reaching those who did not have the verification done automatically by the system.
The agency’s notice establishes a 30-day period for regularization. If the life verification is not completed within the indicated period, the benefit may be blocked and the unlocking will occur after verification. Without verification, payment may be cut, which reinforces the need to act quickly to avoid disrupting income.
Who Was Notified and Why This Happened
The summoned public includes those who did not have their life verification validated automatically.

How investment in technology can revolutionize the national economy and enhance industrial gains, according to a study that highlights the direct impact on productivity, innovation, and wealth retention within Brazil.
Citizens with registered biometrics in official databases usually have their life verification recognized without leaving home, but not all data cross-checks work in 100% of cases.
The life verification is used to prevent fraud and ensure that the benefit is paid to those entitled.
When the automatic system does not confirm the situation, INSS sends alerts through official channels for the insured person to perform the procedure.
Deadlines, Blocking, and How to Regularize
INSS’s notification indicates 30 days to complete the life verification.
Missing the deadline may lead to payment blocking and, if the pending issue persists, to cutting of retirement or pension.
Those who are blocked regularize by completing the life verification.
After verification, the system releases the benefit, avoiding greater losses the following month.
How to Perform Life Verification via Meu INSS and Banks
The digital pathway is straightforward.
Access Meu INSS through the website or app, provide CPF and Gov.br password, and follow the facial recognition instructions when prompted.
In many cases, the process ends in a few minutes.
Some banks offer life verification in the institution’s app.
It is also possible to go in person to the paying agency to complete the procedure in attendance, an option valid for those who prefer the in-person format.
Automatic Life Verification Since 2022
Since 2022, with the Ordinance 1,408, the verification is done through data cross-checking, such as biometrics from the banking network and electoral records.
The goal is to eliminate unnecessary travel and reduce queues.
The vast majority of beneficiaries have their life verification validated automatically.
In recent numbers, the institute pointed out 36.9 million benefits, with 34.6 million updated until August, and calling the remaining for life verification through the official channels.
Why Some Still Need to Do It Themselves
Even with unified databases, there may be a lack of recent data or the data cross-check may not occur in a timely manner.
In such situations, INSS notifies for the insured person to perform the life verification directly.
Ignoring the notification is not recommended.
Besides the risk of blockage, delay may require more steps later, while meeting the deadline keeps the payment without interruptions.
Essential Step-by-Step to Avoid Mistakes
To expedite, have your CPF and Gov.br password ready and check your phone’s camera before starting facial recognition.
Well-lit environment and stable connection help avoid failures.
If you choose the bank, confirm in your institution’s app if there is life verification available and follow the indicated flow.
In in-person service, bring an official photo ID and confirm the time and paying agency.
How to Know if I Am on the List and Where I Was Notified
Those on the list of summoned receive notice via Meu INSS and the paying bank.
Check notifications in the app and messages in the bank app to confirm the requirement for life verification.
If in doubt, access Meu INSS to check pending issues.
It is also possible to call the Central 135, which operates from Monday to Saturday, from 7 am to 10 pm, to confirm the necessity and understand the informed deadline.
Security Alert Against Scams
INSS does not call asking for data, does not send SMS asking for passwords, does not send officials to your home, and does not request information via WhatsApp.
Beware of any contact outside official channels.
In case of suspicious approaches, do not share documents or codes.
Seek Meu INSS, the website gov.br/inss, the official app, or Central 135.
The life verification occurs only through these means, without intermediaries.
The summons reinforce that the life verification remains an indispensable step to maintain income from social security.
Those who received notice have 30 days to regularize and should use Meu INSS, the bank app, or the paying agency to complete the process securely.
Have you already checked Meu INSS to see if you need to take the life verification or still have doubts about the deadline and the quickest channel in your case?
