The Regime Geral de Previdência Social (RGPS), or General Social Security Regime, is the main social protection system for Brazilian workers in the private sector. Administered by the INSS (Brazil’s National Social Security Institute), the RGPS provides benefits such as retirement pensions, survivor pensions and income-replacement allowances that safeguard the dignity of insured workers and their families in times of vulnerability.
The funding sources of Brazil’s Social Security system are the financial mechanisms that sustain the country’s social security program. Understanding them is essential to knowing how benefits are paid for and what obligations fall on employers, workers, and the Federal Government.
Solidarity is the foundation on which Brazil’s entire social security system is built. Under this principle, the contributions of each working person fund the benefits of the insured people who need them, creating collective social protection. Understanding this foundation is essential if you are pursuing your social security rights.
