Date for the Life Test
Proof of life, as a rule, is carried out annually within 10 months after the date of the beneficiary's last birthday. To find the date of your next proof of life and how it can be carried out, you must consult the banking institution paying your benefit.
Important informations
Proof of Life, as already mentioned, is mandatory to continue receiving the benefit because, if it is not done, the benefit will be immediately blocked. However, in March 2024, the MPS ORDINANCE No. 723, OF MARCH 8, 2024, suspended the blocking of the benefit due to lack of proof of life until December 31, 2024.
This is because the government has other means of proving the beneficiary's life, such as:
- Issuance or renewal of documents (Passport, CNH, Identity Card, Work Card).
- Vaccination Record.
- Registration of attendance in election voting.
- Income Tax Declaration as a holder or dependent.
- Opening a company (MEI or as a partner).
- Attendance in person at Bank Branches or Public Bodies.
- Carrying out medical examinations.
- Voluntary attendance at the INSS (in person or via video call).
- Receipt of data by partner entities and government bases (CRAS, SUS).
- Registration update in CadÚnico.
- Receipt of a benefit or loan carried out and authorized using biometrics.
- Access to the Meu INSS application from an account with the Gold Seal.
