Social Security has launched a new notice to remind the beneficiaries of any pension, family benefit or the Minimum Vital Income that if they plan to open a new checking account (whether in the same bank or in another) and want to receive the corresponding payment It is essential to notify the change to the National Institute of Social Security (INSS) or the Social Institute of the Navy (ISM) and that they can ask the financial institution to carry out this procedure free of charge.
Until just over a year ago, when the Bank Account Variation Protocol came into force, the new entity notified companies and service providers whose payments we had domiciled but not to Social Security, so it should be the The interested party himself or someone expressly authorized by him who will communicate the new data in order to continue receiving the benefit. However, since October 1, 2021, this protocol allows his new bank to provide this communication service when a citizen modifies his account.
In any case, it is still possible to inform ourselves of the modification of our bank details. To do so, it is enough to go to a Social Security office to update the information there or try to do it ourselves through its website. In fact, after the media repercussion of the ‘I’m older, but I’m not an idiot’ campaign, some of the procedures that could already be done electronically have been simplified so that they can be carried out without the need for an electronic certificate or Cl@ave and this It is one of them.
Currently, in order to carry it out, it is enough to fill in (without printing, on the same screen) the form that is accessed through this link. Once completed we have to upload it through the ‘send request’ tab. At this point they will ask us to verify our personal data and attach a photo of the ID taken with the mobile. In the last step, Social Security will ask us for a code that will have previously been sent to us by email.
