Overview
- INSS deposits for January run from Jan. 26 to Feb. 6 for those paid up to the minimum, with deposits for benefits above the floor beginning Feb. 2 based on the final benefit digit.
- Benefits tied to the floor reflect the new R$1,621 minimum immediately, while amounts above the floor will be adjusted by the INPC, with the 2026 ceiling estimated near R$8,537.55 pending final inflation data.
- Bolsa Família follows a NIS-ending schedule with January credits beginning on Jan. 19, maintains a R$600 minimum, and keeps extras of R$150 for children 0–6 and R$50 for eligible dependents, with unified payments in officially recognized emergencies.
- The 2026 PIS/Pasep abono pays by birth month starting Feb. 15 for January-born workers, reaches up to R$1,621 proportional to months worked in 2024, and for public servants is paid via Banco do Brasil under current income and tenure criteria.
- Recipients should verify dates and amounts through Meu INSS, the Bolsa Família app, Caixa Tem, the Digital Work Card app, or helplines 135, 121 and 158, with abono consultations opening Feb. 5 and withdrawals available through late 2026.
