Retirement status verification
How can you prove that the status of retirement pensioner was not acquired during the receipt of the extraordinary benefit or that you had not reached the ordinary retirement age or that you did not have the necessary deficiency to access said pension?
In order to prove that you did not have the status of a retirement pensioner or that you had not reached the ordinary retirement age or that you did not have the necessary deficiency to access said pension, you must provide a certificate from the National Social Security Institute (INSS) that certifies these extremes.
Said certificate can be obtained in the following ways:
- Request it in person at one of the Social Security Customer Service Centers (CAISS).
- Obtain it online through Your Social Security Electronic Headquarters.
Steps:
- Click on the “Interested” section and identify yourself by one of the means offered: digital certificate, Cl@ve, SMS,…).
- Save a screenshot of the information that is shown as soon as you enter, paying attention that it shows your name (at the top) and the information about contributions and the period that remains to reach ordinary retirement age.
- Request the “Non-pensioner certificate” located under the “Other procedures” section.
In any case, you can always provide any legally accepted documentation that you consider can prove that you met the conditions of access to the benefit because you are not a retirement pensioner, nor do you have the ordinary age to access it or do not have the necessary contributions to request it.
