Overview

  • INSS began paying the 13th on November 24 to beneficiaries who did not receive the April–May anticipation, covering more than 2.3 million benefits and injecting about R$2.2 billion.
  • For benefits up to one minimum wage, deposits run from November 24 to December 5; for amounts above the minimum, credits occur from December 1 to 5, based on the penultimate digit of the benefit number.
  • Employers must credit the first installment by Friday, November 28, since November 30 falls on a Sunday, and the payment cannot be split into more than two installments.
  • The first installment equals 50% of gross pay without INSS or income‑tax deductions, while the second installment is where mandatory INSS and applicable income‑tax withholding are taken.
  • Regional projections point to sizable year‑end injections, including R$3.6 billion in Rio Grande do Norte and roughly R$2.7 billion in the Vale and Litoral regions, influencing Black Friday and holiday spending.
