According to the document that was published, even without the expert procedure being carried out, salaries will be extended automatically.
This is because the Ordinance issued will be in force while the public calamity situation in Brazil lasts due to the coronavirus.
Furthermore, the National Social Security Institute has extended remote service at agencies across the country until May 22.
This decision is due to the pandemic caused by Covid-19, the new coronavirus disease.
According to what was reported, the Institute was considering the maximum limit of extension requests until the benefit was obtained.
Therefore, at the time of this implementation, an extension will be generated automatically, without the need for a medical examination.
Therefore, after the Ministry of Health authorizes in-person services, services will resume directly at the agencies.
Therefore, the assessments will be rescheduled to be carried out again in person.
Therefore, the beneficiary will need to appear in order to continue receiving payment of the INSS benefit.

Beneficiaries who meet the eligibility criteria can request an extension of payments through the Institute's official website.
In addition to this method, it is also possible to make the request through the center, by calling number 135.
Remembering that the request can be made 15 days before the end of the aid.
Furthermore, it is worth highlighting that the Institute is receiving digital certificates, through the official website as well.
In this way, the person who uses the platform to submit the document and request the benefit will automatically receive an advance of R$ 1,045.00, after the certificate is actually validated by the medical expert.
