The Social Security department has released its November payment schedule for support beneficiaries. The official website has a dedicated section for these payment dates.
Knowing the schedule allows beneficiaries to plan their family budget for the upcoming month more effectively.
Payments will commence on Monday, November 3rd, with pensions and professional illness-related subsidies.
On November 7th, rent support, the Social Inclusion Benefit, Reimbursement of Funeral Expenses, the Solidarity Supplement for the Elderly, and pensions will be distributed.
The next round of payments will be on November 14th, featuring the 1st unemployment/illness/parental/social action payment, along with Family Benefits.
Toward the month’s end, on November 20th, the Regional Pension Supplement and Social Integration Income will be disbursed.
The schedule concludes on November 28th, when the Social Security will execute the 2nd unemployment/illness/parental/social action payment, along with the Informal Caregiver Support Subsidy.
All these payments will be made by bank transfer and postal order, except for rent support, which is exclusively paid via bank transfer.
What benefits and subsidies are you entitled to? Use the simulator
Social Security has launched a simulator to help determine eligibility for social supports or subsidies. “This digital tool aims to simplify information access regarding available social benefits,” states the Instituto da Segurança Social (ISS).
The simulator allows citizens to quickly and easily determine potential eligibility for social benefits based on entered data, though results are not binding, explains the ISS.
What will you need?
The ISS advises that, to answer the simulator’s questions accurately, certain information will be required, which can be reviewed at the start of the process, taking an average of seven minutes.
“This simulator covers most Social Security benefits. The outcomes depend solely on the information provided and are not binding,” the organization emphasizes.
Besides, the “benefits shown in the simulation results apply to the individual using the simulator and their dependents,” and “for other household members to know their entitlement, such as unemployment benefit, they should simulate themselves.”
“If you reside, work, or have worked abroad, this simulation might not accurately reflect your specific situation,” it further notes.
