Retirees and pensioners from the National Social Security Institute (INSS) who receive benefits above R$1,621, the amount corresponding to the 2026 minimum wage, will begin receiving payments for the August calendar next week. Deposits will follow the official schedule published by the institute and will be made staggered between the 3rd and 7th of August.

The calendar is organized according to the penultimate digit of the Benefit Number (NB), used by the INSS to define payment dates for policyholders. In this way, deposits are distributed over five days to cover all beneficiaries who receive above the national minimum.

The first to receive will be those whose penultimate benefit digit is 1 or 6. For this group, payment is scheduled for August 3rd. Those insured with endings 2 and 7 will have their amounts released on August 4th. Benefits intended for endings 3 and 8 will be paid on August 5th, while endings 4 and 9 receive on the 6th. The schedule will end on August 7th, when deposits will be made for beneficiaries with endings 5 and 0.

The amount received varies depending on the contribution history of each insured person. According to the INSS, benefits can reach the social security ceiling of R$8,475.55, while those who receive up to R$1,621 have already started to be included in the calendar since July 27th.

Anyone who wants to confirm the payment date or check the amount that will be deposited can access the application or the official Meu INSS portal. The platform also provides payment statements and other information related to social security benefits.

Another option for consultation is the 135 Customer Service Center. The service operates from Monday to Saturday, from 7am to 10pm, and allows you to clarify doubts about payment dates, amounts and other services offered by the institute.

While policyholders who earn above the minimum wage start receiving payments from August 3rd, those who earn up to R$1,621 continue to receive payments according to the calendar starting on July 27th. Payments for this group are also made in a staggered manner, according to the penultimate digit of the Benefit Number, and will be completed on August 7, when the monthly INSS schedule ends.
