Can self-employed workers contribute to the INSS?

The INSS is a benefit for professionals who work with a formal contract. However, there are still doubts as to self-employed workers, whether or not they can contribute, since they do not have an employment relationship.

In this case, the answer is yes. It is possible to contribute through the INSS booklet, in which the professional becomes an insured person, even obtaining the right to retirement.

It is worth remembering that, as of the next 25th, the Institute will start paying the second installment of the 13⁰ salary, only for retirees and pensioners. In addition, the transfer made will be related to the month of May, thus, access to payments between May 25th and June 7th is already available.

It is important to pay attention, as those who receive the benefit in the minimum amount will be entitled to R$ 1,212, a change that was made on January 1⁰, when the new minimum wage came into force. It is worth noting that retirement benefits, sickness benefits, prison benefits and pensions cannot be equivalent to less than the minimum wage.

Incidentally, there are two types of autonomous contribution, with distinction only in amounts and benefits offered. Check out the available options below:

• Code 1007: the amount of the contribution will be 20% of the salary, limited to the social security ceiling of R$ 7,087.22 for this year. The worker who contributes in this modality may be entitled to a retirement higher than the minimum wage.
• Code 1163: the contribution must be 11% of the minimum wage.

Those wishing to contribute must access the Social Interaction Program (PIS) and choose the type of contribution. After issuing the payment slip, the deadline for paying the contribution is the 15th of the following month.
