Thus, to prevent you from having your retirement suspended or even canceled by the responsible, it is necessary to pay attention to some points that may end up causing this cut of monthly transfers. See below some of the reasons that lead to the suspension of the benefit.

Deactivation of the bank account

The INSS performs the monthly deposit of pension amounts, and uses the movement of money as a way of identifying whether the insured person is still alive. In these cases, failing to make withdrawals for more than two months or ending up not transferring the amount to other accounts can become a reason for suspension of payment.

proof of life

Until the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, proof of life for policyholders was carried out in person, a point that ended up generating a certain resistance on the part of the elderly and people with difficulties to get around. Without proof of life, the benefit is canceled until the situation is regularized.

Currently, the procedure is carried out by crossing information on maintenance of the retirement, such as moving the bank account or using the SUS card, for example. Proof of life can also be done digitally by gov.br, through facial recognition.

Prison

Finally, people who receive retirement benefits and are imprisoned will have their benefits suspended for the period they are out of society. The rule is mentioned in Decree 10410/2020, and payments return when the person has their freedom decreed.
