The review is a discretionary act of the authority, that is, the insured can be summoned at any time.
Therefore, approximately 1.7 million beneficiaries need to be analyzed again, proving through documents that the benefit was granted.
Therefore, beneficiaries are being summoned via letters, having up to 60 days to respond to the INSS after being informed of the notification.
In addition to the letter, according to the INSS, it is also possible to access the website or application My INSS to check if there is any digital correspondence related to the benefit in the “My Messages” section.
So, as a way to help policyholders, below is an explanation of how this new proof has been implemented, as well as the rules and requirements to ensure the benefit is not lost.
I was notified for the INSS fine-tooth comb, what now?
In this case, the INSS said that it will be necessary to send the beneficiary's documents through Meu INSS, which must be accessed using a login and password.
Therefore, the requested service is “Benefit Data Update”, where it will be necessary to attach copies of personal documents or legal representative, if applicable, in addition to the work and Social Security card (CTPS).
If you have difficulty completing the procedure online, you can schedule an appointment with the INSS by calling 135.
What happens if the documentation is not submitted?
Any insured person who is notified and does not respond to the INSS within 60 days will have their benefit suspended.
Therefore, if the suspension completes 30 days and the person does not present the documentation, the benefit will be blocked and they will lose access to the resource that was made available.
Therefore, it is extremely important to send the documents using the new INSS fine-tooth comb.
