A type of retirement that looked at the insured person’s total contribution time, with no minimum age requirement. The 2019 reform eliminated it for new insured persons, but it remains available through transition rules for those who were already enrolled in the system before the change. The transition rules combine contribution time with age, points, or a toll (pedágio, an extra period of contribution time).
