Overview
- Payments started on Thursday, Sept. 24, when beneficiaries who earn up to one minimum wage and have benefit final 1 received their deposits.
- To find the relevant digit, beneficiaries must use the last number before the hyphen in the benefit code, for example 0108-4 counts as 8.
- The calendar runs through October 7 with up-to-minimum payments staggered by single finals from Sept. 24 to Oct. 7 and higher-benefit payments grouped two finals per day from Oct. 1 to Oct. 7.
- Beneficiaries can confirm exact dates and amounts in the Meu INSS app or site using Gov.br credentials or by calling the 135 hotline, which operates Monday to Saturday from 07:00 to 22:00.
- The staggered schedule aims to ease bank processing and help retirees and pensioners plan for bills; the cutoff for the first group is one minimum wage, listed as R$1,621 in the notices.
