A job search revealed an unusual employment record in Aldenize Ferreira da Silva’s Digital Work Card, with an old link to the Jaboatão dos Guararapes City Hall and a position incompatible with her professional trajectory.
The nursing technician Aldenize Ferreira da Silva, aged 46, discovered while looking for a job that she appeared in employment records as holding the position of “President of the Republic” for 24 years and two months.
The link was associated with the Jaboatão dos Guararapes City Hall, in Greater Recife, and was listed as active since March 14, 2002, according to data shown in the Digital Work Card.
The information appeared during a CPF consultation at a Worker Agency in the municipality.

The Brazilian government closed a channel 90 years ago in SC, built a landfill over the sea, and now aerial images reveal an impressive contrast of the water, sediment accumulation, and a billion-dollar project with a 100-meter span on BR-280.
During the service, the system indicated that Aldenize had an old link with the city hall in a role incompatible with her professional trajectory.
She claims to have worked as a school cook in a municipal school in the early 2000s.
The registration pointed to an initial remuneration of R$ 201.60 and classified the occupation as “President of the Republic”.
In a report on the case, Folha de S.Paulo reported that the record also appeared linked to RAIS and Caged, databases used for employment information.
Record as President of the Republic appeared in job search
Aldenize reported that the problem was identified when she was looking for a job opportunity.
When checking her data in the system, the attendant found it strange that the link had been open for more than two decades and questioned the registered role.
“How is it that you have been working for 24 years and 2 months and you have held the position of President of the Republic since March 14, 2002?” the worker recounted, describing the employee’s reaction during the consultation.
According to Aldenize, she used the physical work card and had not checked the digital version before the service.
After the alert, she accessed the app and confirmed that the information appeared in the electronic document.
The attendant also informed, according to the nursing technician’s account, that a link open for so long could create difficulties in future situations, including processes related to retirement.
The worker said she started considering the possibility that the incorrect registration might have interfered with hiring attempts, but there is no official confirmation that the error prevented her from being hired for any position.
The professional trajectory reported by Aldenize does not correspond to the position displayed in the system.
She said she worked for the Jaboatão dos Guararapes City Hall as a school lunch lady, under a temporary contract, and stated that this was her only connection with the municipal administration.
Digital Work Card showed a similar flaw in other women
After the case was publicized, two other women from the same region reported finding similar records in the Digital Work Card.
Claudia da Silva, 53, and Suelane Fonseca, 49, also appear in reports about the flaw and have in common ties with the Jaboatão dos Guararapes City Hall in the early 2000s.
Claudia worked as a child educator in municipal schools, according to information published by Terra.
Suelane works as a general services assistant linked to the city hall, according to the same journalistic account.
The three women had the position of “president of the Republic” associated with their work history in digital records.
The reports do not indicate that they received compensation linked to the incorrectly registered position.
In Aldenize’s case, the document indicated an initial salary of R$ 201.60 and last remuneration of R$ 15.42 in December 2002, according to a Terra report.
Jaboatão dos Guararapes City Hall attributes error to data migration
The Jaboatão dos Guararapes City Hall stated that the origin of the problem was related to the transition of data from the old Sefip system to eSocial.
According to the municipal administration, the flaw altered some databases and led to employees classified as holding a “generic commissioned position” appearing as “president of the Republic”.
The municipal administration stated, according to Folha, that it cannot specify how many people may have been affected by the inconsistency.
The justification presented was that the system involved is not under the direct management of the city hall.
The guidance provided for former employees who find discrepancies is to contact the municipality’s Personnel Management Unit to request clarification and possible record correction.
This measure applies to people who had ties with the city hall and identified incompatible information in digital work documents.
How old data enters the Digital Work Card
The Digital Work Card started to gather information linked to the worker’s CPF and official databases.
According to the federal government, since September 24, 2019, the physical card is no longer necessary for hiring in most cases, and the information provided by the employer in eSocial has replaced annotations previously made in the paper document.
The CNIS, National Social Information Register, gathers links, salaries, and social security contributions found in the worker’s records.
For this reason, old discrepancies may appear when the citizen consults digital documents or presents the CPF in hiring processes.
In Aldenize’s case, the link displayed in the digital card refers to 2002, a period prior to the implementation of the digital card as the main means of employment registration.
The inconsistency, according to the version presented by the city hall, would have arisen in the data migration between systems used for labor and social security information.
Correction of links in CNIS and Meu INSS
INSS informs that the insured can access the CNIS statement through the Meu INSS website or app and via Central 135.
Through the same channels, it is possible to request inclusion, exclusion, confirmation, or correction of information, upon presentation of documents that prove the data.
To correct divergent links or salaries, the worker can present documents such as a professional card, contribution booklets, and other proofs related to the worked period.
INSS itself states that updating the contribution time allows correcting information different from those in the work card.
Consulting the CNIS is one way to verify if old links appear correctly in the social security history.
The statement informs work relationships, salaries, and contributions, data that can be considered in future benefit analyses.
In Aldenize’s case, the discrepancy was only identified because a routine consultation was made during the job search.
Similar situations, according to reports published after the case was disclosed, were also reported by other women who worked for the same city hall in the early 2000s.
The flaw drew attention due to the position displayed in the record, but the case involves an administrative issue: the compatibility between old data, digital systems, and documents used by workers in hiring and social security requests.
