Ademar’s example
Insured Ademar retired with 35 years of contribution time in November 2016, three years before the Pension Reform of 11/13/2019 came into force.
In 2020, he fulfilled his electoral obligations and voted in municipal elections.
As the Covid-19 pandemic required Brazilians to be vaccinated, Ademar took advantage of the SUS and, from 2021 onwards, took all doses of the coronavirus vaccine.
Not to mention the other vaccines he takes regularly.
The following year, to fulfill his electoral obligations once again, Ademar voted in the 2022 presidential elections.
In May 2023, the retiree declared his own IR (Income Tax) through the Declaration Generator Program, available on the Federal Revenue website.
Three months after that, in August 2023, he renewed his driver’s license.
Understand! Each of these actions (voting, vaccination, etc.) was recorded in databases and appears in Ademar’s “information package”.
As his birthday is September 4th, it is worth highlighting that the INSS has 10 months, counting from the insured’s birthday, to analyze this entire “package of information”.
All these actions, carried out and registered, will mean that Ademar does not need to go to the bank branch where he receives his pension.
If in doubt, talk to your pension lawyer reliable.
