Overview
- A federal decree confirms the advance, with 50% paid from April 24 to May 8 and the remainder from May 25 to June 8, deposited with the April and May benefits.
- Eligible recipients include retirees, pensioners, and people who received in 2026 temporary or indemnity benefits such as disability aid, accident aid, maternity pay, death pension, or incarceration aid.
- Beneficiaries of the BPC social assistance program and recipients of Renda Mensal Vitalícia are excluded from the 13th salary.
- Payment dates follow the final digit of the benefit card number (NIS) without the verifier digit, with separate calendars for those paid up to one minimum wage and those paid above it, and the schedule can be checked in the Meu INSS app or website.
- Local impact is sizable, with more than 2.8 million people in Rio de Janeiro set to receive R$7.2 billion and about 80,000 in Acre due R$149.1 million, which tends to lift nearby shops and services.
