In February this year, the STF (Federal Supreme Court) approved the “Whole Life Review” of the INSS (National Social Security Institute) in a virtual session. 

However, minister Kássio Nunes Marques requested that the vote be carried out in person, which would take the score to zero.

It is important to highlight that when requesting a lifetime review, the insured must be sure that the measure will be beneficial. Because in some cases it is possible that the correction will further reduce the value of the benefit.

Furthermore, before requesting a lifetime review of the INSS, the insured must be convinced that it is worth it. To do this, the three points must be observed:

It is situations like this that guarantee a good increase in the value of the INSS benefit through the life review.

It is important to highlight that any citizen needs the assistance of a lawyer specialized in this area to request a review of the INSS' entire life. He needs to analyze the account to see if it is really worth requesting a review.
