Access to Suibe would have facilitated data leakage for unions and banks that made irregular discounts on benefits
The (National Institute of Social Security) allowed the access of 3,000 employees to the SUIBE (Unified Benefit Information System), which contains personal and financial data of retirees and pensioners.
Access to the system may have facilitated the leakage of sensitive information for unions and financial institutions, which they applied to the benefits. The information is from the portal Metropolis.
Suibe stores data as full name, social security number, phones, type of benefit received and amounts paid to beneficiaries. After discovering the problem, he ordered him to block passwords and restricted access to the system to 6 people.
Operation without discount
In April, the PF (Federal Police) launched the Operation without a discount, which investigates a scheme of undue discounts on Retirement and Pensions of the INSS. Discounts were made by associative entities without authorization from retirees and pensioners. Irregular charges were applied directly to social security benefits.
The government reported that by 2023 the CGU (Comptroller General of the Union) began a series of findings on the increase in the number of entities and discounted values of retirees. From this process, audits were made in 29 entities with ACTs (technical cooperation agreements) with the INSS. There were also interviews with 1,300 retirees who had payroll discounts.
According to the government, the CGU identified that the entities had no operational structure to provide the services they offered to the beneficiaries and that, of the interviewees, most had not authorized the discounts. The controllership also identified that 70% of the 29 entities analyzed had not delivered full documentation to the INSS.
