INSS Begins Payments in September for 39 Million Retirees and Pensioners with Staggered Schedule Until October 8, 2025.
The INSS (National Institute of Social Security) has released the official payment schedule that will serve more than 39 million retirees and pensioners across the country. Between September 25 and October 8, 2025, benefits will be released according to the amount received and the last number of each insured person’s card.
This organization aims to avoid queues at banks, maintain a controlled flow of resources, and ensure greater security for beneficiaries. Those who receive up to the minimum wage will have the earliest payment dates, while those who receive above the national minimum wage will follow a separate schedule.
How the Payment Schedule Works
The INSS schedule separates the deposits into two brackets: beneficiaries who receive up to the minimum wage and those who receive amounts above it.

Where to Check Dates and Statements
The INSS provides three official channels for inquiries: the Meu INSS app, the Meu INSS website, and the phone service 135, which operates from Monday to Saturday.
Through these channels, it is possible to check payment statements, schedule medical examinations, update personal information, and verify the exact deposit date. The agency emphasizes that it does not send links via messaging apps and that all official information should be accessed only through official means.
Impact of the Minimum Wage Adjustment
In 2025, the federal government updated the minimum wage in January. All benefits equivalent to the minimum wage were automatically adjusted. For those receiving above the minimum, the adjustment follows the Nationwide Consumer Price Index (INPC), ensuring compensation for inflation.
This annual adjustment has a direct impact on the lives of insured individuals, as it defines the base value for millions of retirements, pensions, and assistance programs.
Guidelines for Retirees and Pensioners
The INSS recommends that beneficiaries use the schedule to organize their finances, prioritizing essential expenses and avoiding taking out loans without assessing the costs. Another important guideline is to keep personal data updated and to perform the proof of life when requested, preventing locks and fraud.
The September and October 2025 schedule from the INSS brings predictability to millions of Brazilians, but it also requires attention to deadlines and precautions to avoid scams. With over 39 million scheduled payments, organization is essential for everyone to receive without issues.
