Overview of work life verification and its importance
It is useful to check whether contributions align with actual working hours. Maintaining accurate records for Social Security is a smart habit for every worker, especially those who worry about being paid for all the time they work. When hours are underreported, it can affect benefits such as INSS, pensions, disability, unemployment, and subsidies. Regular checks help protect a person’s future benefits and ensure contributions are truly reflected.
Verification is straightforward. A worker can consult the company’s registration records, verify cancellations, review day types, and confirm contribution amounts. This report verifies the total time worked at the current employer. A person’s work-life record can be downloaded for free or requested to be delivered by mail, depending on the system in place.
Why review the work-life record from time to time? First, it reveals the hours under Social Security enrollment. Even when someone is employed full time, an employer might only record part of the time worked. That practice is illegal, though it still occurs in many workplaces. If there are doubts, the report helps confirm whether the hours actually worked match what is shown in the records.
The work-life report documents total worked hours and the contributions made to Social Security. This enables individuals to handle all registration or cancellation situations across different Social Security regimes with confidence.
Many companies and government agencies request this document to verify contributed days. It supports compensation eligibility when unemployment becomes a factor or when taking approved leave such as maternity or paternity leave.
