In addition to the app and website, requests can also be made via telephone number 135.

As a result, your request will be processed electronically and if your data is correct in the official system, granting of the benefit may be made in such a way automatic.

This is happening in 80% of the requests for retirement based on contribution time that are made using the app.

Therefore, you will have a response within 24 hours.

Only when necessary will you be called to submit additional documentation.

A very interesting feature would be the possibility of simulate retirement and income.

Through this simulation, it is possible to understand whether the worker is entitled to the benefit, in addition to the estimated value of their monthly income.

Therefore, the simulator aims to help citizens obtain more information about their rights.

According to the Institute, after a person runs the simulation and finds that some condition for granting the benefit is missing, it is necessary to wait until all requirements are met.

When this occurs, the person will receive the benefit automatically, as explained above.


Main documents for the application in the Meu Inss App

First of all, you need to have your identification document to submit the application.

In this sense, the Institute accepts the identity card (RG) that has your CPF number.

In the case of citizens who do not have a CPF on their ID, it is necessary to attach the card or some proof that has the CPF number and full name.

The National Driver's License (CNH) is also accepted as an identification document.

On the other hand, the work card It is a basic document, responsible for proving all your work relationships.

It is a fundamental document, considering that some employment relationships may not be in the National Social Information Registry (CNIS).

And speaking of CNIS, know that he is able to prove his contributions to the Institute.

Furthermore, this registry shows the value of each contributor's salary, something that directly affects the final value of your retirement.

THE proof of residence It is important because it ensures that you actually live at a valid address in our country.

In fact, there is the written request which is an optional document, but very important in the process.

This application serves as a kind of guide for the Institute's server to analyze your request.

Therefore, the document must contain your objective with each piece of evidence you included in your retirement application.

Finally, the proof of period of special activity, abroad and rural.

Despite this, it is noted that there are several types of special insured persons, including fishermen, rural workers, rubber tappers or plant extractors, as well as artisans.

And each of these insured persons must make a self-declaration, so pay attention!

Why can't I log into My INSS?

Unfortunately, it is common for the application and website to experience some instability due to high demand.

Therefore, we will highlight the main problems and some of the solutions:

Platform offline

Several citizens reported that when trying to log in to the platform, they received a message saying, "An error occurred. Please try again later."

Additionally, some people stated that a message appeared on the website stating that it was undergoing maintenance, something that can also occur after logging in, when someone tries to access a service.

Page loading error and error fetching your data

It is possible that the citizen also tried to access a certain resource on My INSS App, but only a blank page appeared.

Therefore, there are no search results.

In fact, you may encounter the following message: "An error occurred while retrieving your data. Please try again."

This occurs when the objective is to access different resources, including information about benefits and payments.

Registration blocked in the My Inss App

Your registration may be blocked by the protection system or even due to system failures.

In fact, if you forget your password and try to access it several times, your registration may be blocked for security reasons.

In this case, just click on “I forgot my password” and follow the steps.

In other cases, you must contact the center and inform them that your registration is blocked.

Unreturned credit 

On the other hand, it is possible that the system indicates that you received your benefit, even though it has not been sent to the account.

To resolve this issue, you need to access the app and go to the “new order” section.

Then, go to “new application”, followed by “updates for benefit maintenance and other services”.

Finally, choose the option to “request payment of unreceived benefit”.

There are no credits for the period reported

Even if you are insured, you may also encounter the following message after trying to obtain your benefit payment statement:

“There are no credits for the period reported.”

This is another technical flaw of the My INSS App which must be resolved through the control panel.

Benefit not unlocked for payroll loans 

If you are not an insured person who is within the grace period for the loan application, which lasts 30 days from the date the benefit is granted, this is another error on the platform.

Therefore, the message is as follows: “The Benefit is blocked by the concession”.  

Error in margin query

Finally, an error may occur when checking the assignable margin.

It will appear unavailable even though the insured has requested the release of the benefit to allow hiring, as it may take a few days for the system to be updated.

In this case, just wait.


Conclusion

To conclude this content, check out a very important tip:

Always keep your data updated on My INSS App.

For example, if a person applies for retirement and does not have their information updated, the process takes longer and the benefit may even be denied.

And in the case of insured persons who have moved to another city, it is necessary to request the transfer of the benefit to the new location.

This type of update cannot be done online; you must schedule an appointment at one of the INSS agencies.
