Social Security combined the two forms of retirement, that is, time and age. Therefore, for a person to retire, it will now be necessary to have the necessary working time and the age determined by the INSS.
Now women who have a private and urban job need to be 62 years old and 15 years of contribution time. Men, in turn, 65 years of age and 20 of contribution. With regard to public servants, women need to be 62 years of age and 25 years of contribution while men 65 years of age and the same contribution period.
Those above are some examples. This was a change that should affect the lives of many people, as many people will take even longer to retire because of this.
Before the so-called Social Security Reform, the calculation was the average of 80% of the highest salaries. After these changes, the calculation of new pensions became the average of 100% of salaries.
This turned out to be another change that was also very bad for the workers as it will decrease the amount they they will receive benefits, as most people have received lower wages at some point.
In addition to these examples of changes to access benefits, the Ministry of Economy also reduced the forecast for next year's minimum wage. This decision will be directly felt by professionals, as there will also be a change in the unemployment insurance for workers dismissed without just cause.
