INSS Launches Extra 13th‑Salary Round as States Advance Payouts Ahead of Dec. 19 Deadline

Authorities are accelerating disbursements to reach beneficiaries who missed the first‑semester advance.

Overview

  • INSS began a new December round for those not covered by the April–May anticipation, releasing about R$2.2 billion for roughly 2.3 million benefits.
  • The INSS payments follow the usual schedule by the last digit of the benefit number, with deposits for those above one minimum wage starting December 1.
  • Piauí brought forward state workers’ second 13th‑salary parcel to December 12, totaling R$263 million, alongside scheduled November and December payrolls.
  • Mato Grosso do Sul set December 10 for the second parcel to about 82,000 active and retired state employees after paying the first part in September.
  • For private‑sector employees, the second installment is due by December 19 this year and comes with INSS and, when applicable, income‑tax deductions; late or missing payments can be reported to labor inspection channels or the MPT, with employers subject to fines starting at R$170.25 per worker and higher on repeat offenses.
