Law alters the sum of the value of contributions for those who have concomitant activities

Retirees from the National Institute of Social Security (INSS) who have concomitant activities and have made the due contributions will be entitled to review the benefits granted by the institute. Previously, those who had already benefited from the previous norm could not request the revision because of the STJ judgment. Now, with the amendment to the law, contributions must be fully added up. Check out more information!

What does concurrent work mean?

The expression “concurrent activities” means that the insured person has more than one job and, consequently, more than one salary to make the contribution in the same month. Teachers, doctors, nurses, and other professionals who work in multiple locations at the same time are common examples of people in this situation.

What changes with Law 13.846/2019?

Although some changes in pension conditions have a negative impact on the lives of policyholders, results in calculating the contribution of policyholders who work in concomitant activities have been positives.

A major problem was corrected by Law 13,846/19 by establishing legal equality and bringing an increase in the value of benefits for policyholders who exercise this work model.

With the new wording of article 32 of Law 8.213/91, the rules that govern policyholders who carry out a paid activity at the same time have become significantly simpler.

From now on, contributions will be added up to the limit of the social security ceiling, calculating the median salary on the total amount for granting retirement. In this way, it effectively increases the social security benefit of the insured person who works at the same time.

And can you ask for a review of the benefit?

Thus, with the new STJ decision, every insured person who performed two jobs at the same time and had the benefit deferred before June 2019 may be entitled to request a review. These are some of them:

• doctors,
• nurses,
• teachers,
• dentists,
• autonomous, etc.

How can this review be done?

This process can be judicial or administrative, so it is important to consult with an experienced lawyer (each case must be analyzed individually). Interested parties must gather all their documentation and request that the INSS carry out an analysis of the benefit. Remembering that the order can be made through the website or app My INSS.

Therefore, you must fill in the personal data that are required and formulate the order. The main documents required in the request for review, in addition to RG and CPF, are:

• Justification of the request;
• Documents to prove your request, for example, a copy of the labor process, calculation sheets, Certificate of Contribution Time and others.
