Pensioner Status Statement (Declaração de Situação de Pensionista)

Social Security (Segurança Social) statement certifying your current status as a pensioner.

What it is for

Prove that you are a pensioner when someone requires it.
Check the pension details shown on the statement.
Distinguish current status from payment history.

Example (fictitious). To get a discount on a municipal service, Titus Gorila's grandmother needs to show that she is a pensioner. She submits this statement and, if monthly amounts are requested, attaches the payment slips.

What it is

This statement certifies the pensioner status currently registered with Social Security (Segurança Social). The portal has another statement, of amounts received in a period, which serves a different purpose. For this reason, the current status statement should not be used to explain what was paid in previous months. Read the title and the fields before submitting it.

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 status statement provided, in PDF; it is not possible to choose a historical period.

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

Things to note

Check whether the statement covers what you are being asked for. Pensions from other schemes may require documents from the relevant paying body.

Frequently asked questions

Is it the same as the annual statement for IRS?

No. The annual statement totals a year's income for tax purposes; this one certifies your current status, and the level of detail depends on the document's fields.

Do I need to attach payment slips?

It depends on the request. If a monthly breakdown of payments and deductions is required, obtain the payment slips as well.
