INSS November Payments: Calendar and Thirteenth Salary Dates
Listen to the story
The INSS is Brazil's social security office. It pays money to retired people and other workers. The INSS has a new calendar for November. This calendar shows the payment dates.
Every year, the INSS also pays a bonus called the "thirteenth salary." This is an extra payment. People get it in two parts.
The first part of the bonus comes in November. The summary does not give an exact date. It only says people can check the calendar for the date.
The second part of the bonus has a deadline. People must get this money by December 18. A deadline is the last day for something.
Many people wait for this money every year. It helps with expenses at the end of the year. Expenses are things you must pay for.
People who get INSS payments should check the calendar. This helps them know when they will get their money. It is important to know the correct dates.
