February 14th is the deadline to adhere to the Federal Government’s agreement to return in correct form the amounts embezzled by associative entities
INSS retirees and pensioners have until February 14, 2026 to contest undue discounts identified in their benefits. This is the deadline to adhere to the Federal Government’s agreement, to return in correct form the amounts unduly deducted from the INSS by associative entities. Requests can be made on the Meu INSS app, at a Post Office or by dialing Central 135. Firstly, the beneficiary must identify whether there was an associative discount on their benefit.
Afterwards, you must inform whether the debt was authorized, and then monitor the response and the deadline for opening membership in the agreement. The government has already reimbursed R$2.8 billion in corrected amounts. 6.2 million people contested the charges. 4.2 million would adhere to the agreement, and 850 eligible people have not yet joined. With membership, the money is deposited within 3 days into the insured’s account.
For people over 80 years old, indigenous people and quilombolas, the challenge does not need to be made, as the INSS started the process automatically, therefore, the beneficiary only needs to adhere to the agreement through the application or post office. For the riverside population, service is provided by PrevBarco.
Who is entitled to the agreement?
- People who challenged entities about undue discounts and did not receive a response within 15 days
- They received responses considered irregular, such as false signatures or audios that replace receipts
- There were discounts between March 2020 and March 2025
- People who have ongoing legal proceedings and have not received the amounts. In these cases, it is necessary to withdraw the action to join
