Find out how retirees and community retirees can receive monetary compensation of up to R$ 72,720 in one go.

The National Social Security Institute (INSS) was forced to pay R$ 1.26 billion to 81,180,000 policyholders who won legal actions against the community. They may arise from delays in approving applications, reviewing pensions or other benefits.

The amounts to be paid were ordered by a judge. Transfers are for small value requests (RPVs). They correspond to a maximum of up to 60 minimum wages, currently in the order of R$ 72,720.

See: RPVs payment schedule

It is important to note that RPVs are different from the so-called precatório, which are amounts that exceed this payment range. Additional payments must be made by July. It is now up to the State Courts (TRFs) to determine the payment schedule for RPVs.

It is up to the TRFs to deposit the released funds according to their own payment schedules. Regarding the day on which the accounts will be effectively released for withdrawal, this information must be obtained by consulting the RPVs, which are available on the portal of the competent Federal District Court, the Federal Justice Commission (TJ) said in a statement
