Carrying out simulations on the Social Security Portal or App has become easier. Social Security has now made automatic pre-filling of data available, a new feature that aims to make the process faster, simpler and less prone to errors when calculating possible social support.
According to , a portal specialized in technology that cites information released by the Social Security Institute, the new functionality allows, when carrying out a simulation on the Social Security Portal or App, part of the necessary information to appear automatically filled in. Until now, users had to manually enter various personal and professional details to proceed with the simulation, which could make the process longer.
With automatic pre-filling, the system now presents the relevant data already available, allowing the citizen to proceed more quickly to calculate the support. The measure applies to simulations carried out through Social Security’s digital channels, namely the Portal and the mobile application.
Pension allows you to confirm or change data
Despite automation, the user can still manually check, edit or enter information whenever necessary. This possibility is important because it allows you to correct outdated data, complete missing information or adjust elements that may influence the result of the simulation.
Social Security therefore highlights the importance of confirming the data before concluding the simulation. The result presented by the simulator depends on the information used in the process, which is why validation by the citizen remains essential.
Simulator helps to understand possible support
The Social Benefits Simulator allows citizens to carry out a simulation to see if they may be entitled to any social benefit. On the Social Security Portal, this tool is available in the simulators area and can be used to obtain an estimate before proceeding with any requests.
According to official information, the Social Benefits Simulator covers different areas of support, including benefits associated with situations of socioeconomic need. The functionality aims to facilitate access to information and help citizens understand what support may be available to them.
Steps to carry out the Social Security simulation
To use the simulator, the citizen must access the Social Security Portal or the Social Security App and choose the option related to simulators. Then, you must select the Social Benefits Simulator and start filling in the information requested by the system.
The first step is to confirm the general information presented. Then, the user must check data relating to family, work, illness or other situations that are relevant to the simulation. Whenever any field appears pre-filled, it must be confirmed before proceeding.
After validating or correcting the data, the user can proceed to the simulation summary. This step allows you to review the information entered and understand the estimated result, before saving the simulation or moving on to other procedures, if necessary.
Digitization makes the process faster
This new feature fits into the digitalization strategy of public services, by reducing the number of data that citizens have to write manually and making access to simulations simpler. The measure can be especially useful for those looking for quick information about social support without having to repeat data that Social Security already has.
Even so, the simulation does not dispense with official confirmation of rights nor does it replace the analysis of a request. The simulator serves to obtain an estimate, helping citizens to better understand their situation before using the services or submitting a request through Social Security’s digital channels.
