Pension for death is given to dependents
To clarify the doubt, it is necessary to understand the concept of dependence within the law. In these cases, the legislation will treat as dependents those who are financially vulnerable and do not have their own income. Thus, children under the age of 18, spouses and also children of legal age who need continuous assistance due to illness are considered to be directly dependent on someone.
In these situations, there is not even a need to prove financial dependence. However, there may be other dependents of a person, such as nephews, stepchildren and also grandchildren. However, in these cases, some kind of proof of financial dependence will be required for the pension to be passed on.
How to prove financial dependence?
If a grandchild needs to receive the grandparents' pension, there must be a request at the INSS and also proof of dependency. For this, the grandson must have the record of permanent custody or the record of permanent guardianship.
With this, we can understand that the grandson should live with the grandparents, who would be directly responsible for him in life. That is, the grandparents should be the legal guardians, being able to be the definitive guardian or definitive guardian. Remembering that, to make the request, you must use the Meu INSS application or call the official INSS channel at number 135.
In addition, there will be a need to provide other documentation to the INSS, as is customary in the request. They are: proof of income tax, proof of payment of school fees, courses paid for by the minor's grandparents or statements of purchase of school materials. In this way, it will be possible to attest that the grandson needs financial support.
