INSS queue drops to lowest level since 2024, and new president sees gradual reduction in coming months

The queue for the Brazilian Institute of Social Security (INSS) has decreased for the fourth consecutive month, reaching 1.9 million requests as of Thursday (25th), according to the new president of the agency, Ana Cristina Silveira. This marks the lowest level since October 2024. The reduction suggests a continued decline in the number of people waiting for social security benefits, which could indicate improvements in processing efficiency or changes in eligibility criteria. The new leadership has expressed confidence that this trend will continue in the coming months.

Fila da perícia do INSS cai 59% e atinge menor patamar em quase 3 anos

The queue for medical examinations at Brazil's National Institute of Social Security (INSS) has dropped by 58.8% compared to August 2023 and by 68.2% compared to November 2025, reaching 391,400 scheduled appointments by the end of June 2026. This marks the lowest level in nearly three years. The significant decline indicates a reduction in demand for these services, which could reflect changes in eligibility criteria, processing efficiency, or broader economic factors affecting access to social security benefits.
