The WelfareThe new law, sanctioned by the Federal Government in 2019, brought a series of changes to the conditions for retirement. 

These changes affect both those who started working before and after the reform was approved.

 In 2024, we will see the updating of the rules for both retirement by age and contribution time.

Differences for those already contributing

The transitional rules apply to those who were already in the labor market before the reform.

These rules establish different conditions for men and women, with specific ages and contribution times.

1. Points system

In the points system, to be used in 2024, the sum of age and contribution time determines eligibility for retirement.

For women, the sum required will be 91 points, while men will need 101 points.

2. Progressive Minimum Age

In the progressive minimum age rule, the required age increases gradually. 

In 2024, men will have to be at least 63 years and six months old, while women will have to be at least 58 years and six months old to retire.

3. Other transition rules

In addition, there is the toll rule, aimed at those who were close to retirement at the time of the reform. 

This rule requires an increase in contribution time, which varies according to each worker's situation.

How to calculate the new pension rules

The changes also affect the death pension. 

Now, the calculation takes into account the number of dependents, with the pensioner receiving 50% of the value of the deceased's pension, plus 10% per dependent, up to a limit of 100%.
