INSS calendar: Payment by the last digit of the benefit number
The date depends on the last digit of the benefit number and on whether the benefit is up to one minimum wage or above it. Choose and see the next date.
INSS, Brazil’s social security institute, pays benefits on a staggered schedule. The day depends on the last digit of the benefit number, not counting the check digit, and on whether the monthly income is up to one minimum wage or above it: for those who receive the minimum, endings 1 through 5 are paid in the last business days of the month, and the rest in the first business days of the following month. The official 2026 table lists the dates month by month.
In the next INSS cycle, for November, people who receive up to one minimum wage are paid from Tue Nov. 24, 2026 to Mon Dec. 7, 2026, with benefit numbers ending in 1 to 5 paid on the last business days of the month and those ending in 6 to 0 paid on the first business days of the following month. People who receive more than the minimum are paid from Tue Dec. 1, 2026 to Mon Dec. 7, 2026, with endings grouped as 1 and 6, 2 and 7, 3 and 8, 4 and 9, 5 and 0. Enter the last digit of your benefit number below to see the exact date.
Beware of scams. RaisLife never asks for your NIS, CPF, password or money. No one from INSS, Caixa or the government charges to release a benefit or asks for a code by phone, text message or WhatsApp. Check only Meu INSS, CAIXA Tem, gov.br and the official channels. See the full notice and sources.

Frequently asked questions
Which digit should I use?
The last digit of the benefit number before the dash, not counting the check digit that appears after the hyphen. INSS example: for benefit 0104-7, use 4.
Where do I find my benefit number?
On the Meu INSS website or app, in the payment statement service. Also by calling the 135 helpline, Monday to Saturday, from 7:00 to 22:00.
What is the difference between the two groups?
Those who receive up to one minimum wage are generally paid with endings 1 through 5 in the last business days of the month and endings 6 through 0 in the first business days of the following month. Those who receive more than the minimum are paid only in the first business days of the following month, grouping endings 1 and 6, 2 and 7, 3 and 8, 4 and 9, 5 and 0.
Does this calendar include the 13th-month payment (annual bonus)?
No. The table on this page covers only the monthly payments. The 2026 13th-month payment has its own page, with the two installments paid alongside the April and May benefits.
What about the 2027 calendar?
When INSS publishes the new table, it will appear here. Until then, after the last 2026 date the page will say that the next calendar has not been released yet.
