For this reason, today approximately 2 million insured people, including pensioners and retirees, are waiting for their benefits to be reviewed.
In case you don't know, this review consists of a request made by the beneficiary for the INSS to reanalyze the amount that was granted for retirement.
However, what many people don't know is that this request must be made within a period of up to 10 years, which is counted from the start of the first payment.
So, with the advancement of the internet, since March 2019, review requests can be made through the INSS website or by calling 135.
In this way, face-to-face service, which was previously the most used, no longer exists.
Additionally, all documents for this type of order must be submitted online.
From this point on, if necessary, the INSS can schedule a day for the beneficiary to go to the agency and bring whatever is necessary to clarify the request.
When to request an increase in INSS retirement?
The INSS retirement review is related to some type of failure in the granting act, which can occur for several reasons, the main ones being:
- When the insured does not include sufficient documents or evidence regarding the contribution period;
- When the INSS does not take into account a document that was presented;
- When the INSS applies the social security factor to a retirement with the right to the old one or when it does not grant the best benefit to the worker.
And how do you find out if there is an error in the benefit amount?
Many retirees and pensioners are unaware that their benefit amounts are incorrect.
However, there are two ways to find out:
- Reviewing the retirement award letter and calculation report. This document contains information regarding the INSS (National Institute of Social Security) analysis. Therefore, by carefully reading this document, you can access the salaries considered for the retirement calculation and identify those that were eliminated;
- By analyzing the benefit's administrative process. In this case, you need to apply through the benefit's website. My INSS or by number 134.
Therefore, if it is found that there was indeed an error in the calculation of the INSS retirement pension, the beneficiary has the right to receive the difference between the previous value and the correct value.
However, it is important to remember that these values are retroactive to the last 5 years.
Therefore, if your retirement is less than 5 years old, delays are limited to the start of INSS retirement payments.
Increase in benefit value
Anyone wishing to increase the benefit amount must seek real proof of errors, having all necessary documents on hand.
Remembering that this review is completely free, but should only be done when you are sure.
Furthermore, the ideal is to open an administrative process to increase the value of the INSS retirement before going to court.
