In a new proof-of-life model, the INSS will actively look for evidence that the beneficiary is alive. For this, it is worth documents or vaccination card
This year, the test of life is expected to be done by 17 million Brazilians who receive pensions, pensions or disability benefits. However, the National Social Security Institute (INSS) announced new protocols this week and, from now on, it is the institution that will try to identify which beneficiaries are alive (or not).

According to the Minister of Social Security, Carlos Lupi, this active search system by the INSS is more equitable. “Why should citizens prove that they are alive and not the INSS?
How will the INSS know who is alive without proof of life?
To find out which beneficiaries are still alive, the INSS will start cross-referencing data from several banks associated with the government. Examples include: get a vaccine in the Unified Health System (SUS)renew your driving licence, vote in an election or file your tax return.
When the INSS receives information that the user has carried out one of these activities, it will be considered an indication of the life of the beneficiary which will serve to compose an “information file” on the person. “When the total number of actions registered in the partner databases during the year is sufficient, the system will take into consideration the proof of life performed, guaranteeing the maintenance of the benefit until the next cycle”, explains the institution.
What happens if the INSS is wrong in its judgment?
To confirm if the person is alive, the INSS will have ten months, starting from the beneficiary’s birthday, in which it will have to collect information about him/her from different systems and databases. If the identification is not carried out within this period, the interested party is notified by the Meu INSS application, by telephone (Centrale 135) and by the banks. In this contact, you will be asked to update your information within 60 days.
What data will the INSS use in the test of life?
Below, check out the full list of actions that will be included in the INSS calculation to replace the traditional proof-of-life:
