What it is

In our catalogue, this name refers to the Social Security (Segurança Social) statement of benefits paid. It shows what you received within the stated scope and period and may include pensions. Social Security Direct (Segurança Social Direta) also offers a statement of non-receipt of benefits; amounts paid, non-receipt and the status of a specific benefit are separate requests.

How we collect it

We need the holder's NISS and Social Security Direct (Segurança Social Direta) password, as well as the SMS code when the portal asks for it. We collect the statement the portal provides, in PDF, without a choice of year or period.

Period: period available on Social Security Direct (Segurança Social Direta).

Access required: Social Security Online (Segurança Social Direta). Credentials are encrypted only during the collection and deleted at the end.

Things to note

Having received an amount does not guarantee that the support will continue. If a benefit does not appear on the statement, that does not prove there is no other income.

Frequently asked questions

Can the statement include pensions?

Yes. The Social Security (Segurança Social) guide states that pensions are included in the statement of benefits paid.

Is it the same as the family benefits status statement?

No. This one shows what was paid; the other states the status of a particular family benefit.
