The payment calendar for benefits for 2026 was released by the National Institute of Social Security (INSS), covering pensions, pensions and aids, affecting about 35 million insured. This anticipation aims to help beneficiaries plan their finances throughout the year.
Deposits have been divided into two categories: one for those receiving up to a minimum wage and another for those receiving more than this amount. The order of payments is determined by the last digit of the benefit number, disregarding the check digit.
The payment dates are specific to each category and have been organized as follows:
Definition of payments
The INSS establishes its payments following a logic that involves two main factors:
- the monthly value of the benefit;
- the last digit of the benefit number, without considering the check digit.
This approach allows deposits to be made on different business days, reducing queues at financial institutions and pressure on payment systems.
Payments for those who receive up to a minimum wage
Transfers for minimum wage beneficiaries will be made between the last five business days of the month of competence and the first five business days of the following month. The dates for 2026 are as follows:

Payments for insured individuals above a minimum wage
Workers with benefits above the minimum wage will receive their payments in the first business days of each month. For this category, the INSS has scheduled two ends of benefits per day. The dates are as follows:

How to check the payment date?
Beneficiaries can find out the exact date of their deposits by observing the digit that appears before the check digit in the benefit number, allowing them to identify the payment day.
Consultation of the benefit value
There are several ways for insured individuals to check their payment statements:
My INSS app
The app, available for Android and iPhone, allows users to access various services, such as checking statements, verifying amounts, and updating registration information with the Gov.br account.
My INSS website
The online platform can be accessed via computer using the same login as the Gov.br account, where users have access to most of the services that are available in person.
Service Center 135
By phone, the 135 Center provides service, with automated options available 24 hours a day and human service from Monday to Saturday during business hours.
Importance of the payment calendar
Knowing the deposit dates in advance is essential for retirees and beneficiaries to organize their finances, avoiding unnecessary visits to banks and facilitating the scheduling of payments and purchases. With this fixed INSS calendar, insured individuals can plan throughout 2026, using the dates as a reference in their financial management.
Benefits included in the calendar
The schedule covers almost all benefits offered by the INSS, such as:
- pensions;
- death pension;
- temporary incapacity aid (formerly called sickness benefit);
- accident assistance;
- reclusion aid;
- maternity salary;
- Continuous Provision Benefit (BPC/Loas), which has a specific schedule associated with the INSS.
Beneficiaries should pay attention to the dates to ensure they receive their payments within the established deadlines.
