He National Institute of Social Security (INSS) launched a new campaign aimed at making it easier to apply for benefits for birth and custody of the minor for the parents. To do this, Social Security will automatically send an SMS to the parents who have registered the birth of your child in the civil registry. This message includes a direct link to the “Your Social Security” portal, which will allow citizens to request it quickly and easily. However, it is crucial to be alert to possible fraud attempts, as some cybercriminals could try to impersonate Social Security. To check the authenticity of the messageBeneficiaries are recommended to contact Social Security directly.
The content of the sent SMS includes details such as the recipient’s name and date of birth, which can help identify it as an official message. In addition, the benefit can be electronic requestby mail or in person at Social Security Attention and Information Centers (CAISS). Parents must also ensure that the company has sent proof of the dates of maternity or paternity leave and that the birth is registered in the civil registry. If the request is submitted through a representative, it must include the corresponding confirmation.
