INSS Pays Full 13th Salary to Retirees in December
Good news for retirees! The National Social Security Institute (INSS) will be paying the full 13th salary to all pensioners in December. This means that retirees will receive an extra payment equivalent to their monthly pension, providing a much-needed boost during the holiday season.
Important Dates:
- Payment schedule: The INSS will start paying the 13th salary on December 1st, 2023, and the last payments will be made on December 20th, 2023.
- Payment method: The 13th salary will be deposited directly into the same account where retirees receive their monthly pensions.
Who is eligible for the 13th salary?
All retirees, regardless of the type of pension they receive, are entitled to the full 13th salary. This includes those who receive:
- Old-age pension: Paid to individuals who have reached the minimum age requirement and have contributed to the INSS for a specific period.
- Disability pension: Paid to individuals who have been declared permanently disabled and are unable to work.
- Survivor's pension: Paid to the dependents of deceased INSS contributors.
How is the 13th salary calculated?
The 13th salary is calculated based on the retiree's monthly pension amount. It is equivalent to one full month's pension.
Taxation:
The 13th salary is subject to the same taxes as the monthly pension. This means that retirees may need to pay income tax on the 13th salary depending on their overall income for the year.
Important Considerations:
- Retirees should review their bank statements and ensure they receive the full amount of their 13th salary payment.
- If you have any questions or concerns about the 13th salary payment, you can contact the INSS directly through their website or by phone.
Enjoy the benefits of the 13th salary and have a happy holiday season!
