Understand Who Needs to Complete the Procedure, How It Works, and What Changed in the Obligation

Many people still have questions about the proof of life from INSS in 2025. The requirement is still in effect, but with new rules that changed how to complete the procedure and reduced the need to go in person to agencies or banks.

The proof of life is mandatory for those receiving retirement, pensions due to death, or other long-term benefits. The goal is to ensure that the beneficiary is still alive and to prevent fraud, but now INSS uses data cross-referencing to perform this verification automatically whenever possible.

Who Needs to Prove Their Life in 2025?

Since 2023, the procedure has undergone reforms. Now, INSS attempts to identify if the beneficiary is alive based on information from other public systems, such as vaccination records, SUS services, or bank transactions.

How to Know If I Was Summoned?

You can check if your proof of life was done automatically or if action is required through the following channels:

Meu INSS App
Official INSS Website
Phone Central 135
INSS Physical Agencies
Authorized Banks

In 2025, those who are summoned and do not complete the procedure may have their benefits suspended until the situation is regularized.

What Changed with the New Rules?

The new model focuses on reducing bureaucracy and making life easier for the insured, especially the elderly and people with reduced mobility. The obligation still exists, but the process is more agile and automated.

The proof of life only requires travel as a last resort, when the system cannot confirm the beneficiary’s existence based on the available data. The 2025 recadastration is already underway, and INSS emphasizes that all updated data in public databases can be considered to validate the insured person’s life.

Did the new rule make your life easier or more complicated? Were you informed in time? Leave your opinion in the comments — we want to hear from those who truly depend on the benefit.

What Changed with the New Rules?

A village with 115 inhabitants wants new residents: it offers a house, a job, up to 44 thousand euros in benefits, almost free rent, an annual grant of 8 thousand euros for 3 years, and a 20 thousand euro incentive for businesses in the mountains of Italy.

Seven world powers including the US, China, and Russia are spending €22 billion on a reactor in the south of France that aims to confine plasma at 150 million degrees Celsius, ten times the temperature of the Sun’s core, using a magnetic field capable of lifting an entire aircraft carrier.

With a wingspan of 152 meters, 76 tires, and a capacity to carry 1,270 tons, the Boeing Pelican was the giant “flying ship” that promised to cross oceans close to the water on an invisible air cushion beneath its wings.

Elon Musk’s internet comes to mobile: Starlink technology connects smartphones without an antenna via satellite, works even without carrier signal, already costs just US$10 extra in the US, and could arrive in Brazil as an included benefit.

While countries spend billions to draw water from the sea, a Nobel-winning scientist creates a container-sized machine that extracts up to 1,000 liters per day from dry air and uses ultrasound to release water in minutes, even in the middle of the desert.

After 16 years and almost 600 prototypes, a Chinese inventor unveils the world’s smallest and cheapest manned jet, at just 3.80 meters long and costing US$7.2 thousand in materials.

Belgium will sink 23 giant concrete caissons, each weighing 22,000 tons, in the North Sea to build the world’s first artificial energy island 45 km off the coast, forming offshore electrical walls.

China’s neighbor surprises the world by hitting 1,200 seconds in a hypersonic missile engine test and sparking a military alert.

With a 1.6-liter 118 hp engine, a 460-liter trunk, and a 7-inch multimedia system, the Nissan V-Drive 2026 is sold in Mexico starting at 339,900 Mexican pesos and relies on low maintenance costs to win over app drivers, fleet owners, and self-employed professionals.

Fuel cells that use bacteria on the seabed could eliminate expensive battery replacement and keep submerged sensors working for much longer.

While countries compete for land for solar panels, Switzerland unrolls solar panels like a carpet between the tracks of an active railway.

The duel between Shein and Temu gained a new chapter in London, with accusations of mass copying, a dispute over suppliers, and an impact on global fast-fashion.
