The new retirement values for 2024 have already been released, shortly after the announcement of the new minimum wage for this year.

And, if you intend to receive your retirement this year, it is important to know how the application process works.

That's exactly what we'll talk about next, so don't miss it!

Who is entitled to retirement from the INSS?

To retire through Brazil's Social Security, it is important to meet certain requirements, especially related to age and contribution time.

This means that only those who have contributed throughout their professional life will be entitled to retirement from the INSS.

This contribution can be either directly discounted from the salary or through individual payment, which is made via an INSS payment slip.

Currently the general rules for retirement are:

• Men: 65 years of age and 20 years of contributions;
• Women: 62 years of age and 15 years of contributions.

However, it is worth mentioning that the rules vary depending on the type of retirement, so it is worth checking your situation directly with the INSS.

Find out how to apply for your benefit in 2024

Applying for your retirement in 2024 is very simple, as everything can be done through the INSS website or app.

Therefore, start by logging into Meu INSS with your gov.br account.

Then, look for the “New request” tab and select the benefit you wish to request.

Once this is done, start the request by sending data and documents required by the system.

After completing the order, simply send it for analysis and wait for the process to progress.

Remember that you can track the progress on the website or app, in the “My requests” tab.

Completion of the process depends on several factors, so keep an eye on your order to check for updates.

Is the value of the pension subject to adjustments?

After completing your retirement application, the INSS describes the amount calculated for your benefit.

But, is this value permanent, that is, will you receive this same value for the rest of your life?

The good news is that INSS retirement benefits undergo annual adjustments, meaning that the benefit increases every year.

In 2024, this adjustment was 8.4% on the floor, which reached R$ 1,412.00, and 3.7% on the ceiling, which reached R$ 7,786.01.

So, if you want to receive the benefit with this year's adjustment, make your request as soon as possible!
