Be careful when filling out the INSS maternity pay form
When choosing to apply for maternity pay through the Meu INSS platform, whether through the website or app (Android and iOS), you need to be careful. The process requires precise answers to certain questions, and one of the most significant involves the pause in professional activities after childbirth.

Therefore, to obtain the benefit, it is essential to confirm that this interruption actually occurred. If the opposite is reported, the system will automatically reject the request, without manual evaluation.
The purpose of this is obvious: the maternity pay from the National Institute of Social Security aims to ensure that the beneficiary dedicates himself or herself entirely to caring for the baby. Denying the beneficiary time off from work runs counter to this objective.

For both individual taxpayers and individual microentrepreneurs (MEI), domestic workers and other categories, it is crucial to be vigilant when completing the form, either through Meu INSS or via Central 135. In addition, the INSS online system asks for the attachment of vital documents, such as the child's birth certificate, personal identification and proof of address.
It is worth noting that workers with formal registration do not need this process. In this scenario, the employer assumes the obligation to pay maternity pay, which is then reimbursed by the National Institute of Social Security.
Finally, if you still have questions or need additional information about maternity pay, you can contact INSS Central 135. The service is available from Monday to Saturday, from 7 am to 10 pm, ready to answer all of the insured's questions.
