MEIs who wish to retire before the deadline will have to pay additional amounts in a monthly contribution of 15% of the minimum wage, with the percentage of the rate being 20%.

However, if you want a pension greater than the minimum wage, keep in mind that the amount should be increased equally. The micro-entrepreneur has the right to retire due to disability, it will be necessary to have contributed to the Social Security for at least one year.

maternity allowance

Maternity aid will only be granted to pregnant women who need to be away from work or due to adoption, abortion or legal guardianship. In this sense, there is a need for 10 contributions to apply for the benefit, with a duration of 120 days.

In addition, family members of a micro-entrepreneur who is arrested will receive the benefit, but it is important to have made contributions to the INSS for two years.

death benefit

In this case, it will be important for the micro-entrepreneur to have all contributions in order, for the family to be entitled to receive the death pension, and each benefit duration varies.

If the death occurs without the micro-entrepreneur having contributed for 18 months, the pension will be paid for only 4 months or, if the marriage has not completed two years of the death of the MEI.

If the individual microentrepreneur has correctly completed the 18 contributions, the duration may vary in relation to his age.
