The payment schedule is organized according to the final digit of the benefit registration. Thus, those whose final digit is 2 will receive their benefits tomorrow, and so on.

Beneficiaries with incomes above the minimum wage will receive their payments during the same period: during the first five business days of October.

To determine the exact date of your payment, the first step is to identify the final digit of your benefit number, which is always the one before the hyphen. For example, if the number is 123-4, the digit to consider is 3.

This information can be found on your award letter or payment statement, which you can access through the INSS apps for Android or iOS devices. Alternatively, you can obtain it by calling the 135 hotline, which operates Monday through Saturday, from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.

With the final number in hand, consult the current year's payment calendar, checking the date corresponding to your income bracket. Remember that deposits are made only on business days, excluding weekends and holidays.
