However, errors in the CNIS can lead to lower retirement benefits or even denial of the benefit. Various errors may be found in the CNIS, affecting the accuracy of the data used to calculate retirement benefits.
Common errors include: incomplete, invalid, and inconsistent data – such as an incorrect contributor code for self-employed workers -, lack of proof of activities performed, and missing records of employment ties.

Therefore, it is crucial to review the CNIS and compare the data there with employment record book entries and pay stubs.
When errors or unregistered employment records are found in the CNIS, action must be taken to correct them. The first option, depending on the situation, is to contact the former employer, the INSS or the liquidator, if applicable, to request the necessary corrections.
You can also call 135 and request a correction of the error. Regardless of the method, it is essential to have documents proving the periods worked, such as pay stubs, employment contracts, receipts, etc.
In some cases, it may be necessary to go to court to obtain recognition of employment records or higher salaries.

When checking the CNIS, it is important to verify the work periods, start and end dates, the amounts of salaries or contributions paid, and also pay attention to the indicators mentioned in the statement.
To correct an error in the CNIS, it is crucial to gather documents proving employment relationships. Some necessary documents include: employment record book; personal documents; copies of labor lawsuits; Social Security payment slips; proof of rural work, apprenticeship, and military enlistment; among others.
The more evidence the insured person has, the easier it will be to demonstrate the validity of the employment relationships and correct the information in the CNIS.
