Social Security has now made a new online application available that can help future pensioners ensure they receive everything they are entitled to when it comes time to retire. The functionality, active since the beginning of this month, allows you to review a specific part of the contribution career which, for many citizens, can increase the final value of the pension. According to Notícias ao Minuto, the objective is to avoid late surprises and speed up the analysis of retirement requests.
The new option on the Social Security Portal is aimed at those who, throughout their lives, have accumulated contribution periods that are not yet correctly recorded in the official register. According to the same source, the idea is to allow these adjustments to be made long before requesting the pension, preventing administrative errors or missed periods from preventing the fair calculation of the amount due.
Who can use this functionality
Social Security explains that the request is available to male citizens born before January 1, 1987 and who are not yet retired or have an ongoing pension application.
The website explains that, for this group, there are specific contribution periods that may require prior validation, which is why the organization decided to bring forward the process to ensure greater accuracy and speed.
According to the publication, this review makes it possible to check whether all relevant years are properly recorded, something that can have a direct impact on the final amount received. An incomplete contribution career may result in a lower pension or a significant delay in its award.
How the order works step by step
The Social Security Institute details that the process is simple and completely digital. The citizen must access the portal, enter the Work area and choose the Remuneration and Contributions option.
Then, you must consult the Contribution Career and proceed to Career Review Request, selecting the type of period you want to correct. According to the publication, the request is immediately registered and can be monitored permanently in the personal area of the portal.
Social Security also informs that the user receives a notification when the request is analyzed. It is possible to change or cancel the submitted process at any time, ensuring greater control and flexibility.
Why this request may increase the pension amount
He emphasizes that validating these periods in advance avoids wasting time and, above all, prevents the worker from discovering too late that the contributory career was not correct. A single missed period can reduce the value of the pension or delay its approval, which is why Social Security recommends making these adjustments as soon as possible.
A faster and more complete reform
Early review also contributes to the efficiency of services. According to the same source, the organization believes that this measure will improve the response rate for future requests, ensuring a faster and fairer allocation of the pension.
The message addressed to citizens is clear: by addressing the contributory past today, it guarantees a simpler reform process tomorrow.
