Summary and headline written by AI from the source article. How we work
The INSS, Brazil’s social security institute, returned 3.6 billion reais to 5.1 million retirees and pensioners who protested improper deductions from their benefits.
These deductions stemmed from a scandal involving associative memberships uncovered by the Controladoria-Geral da União (General Controller of the Union) and the Federal Police in 2025 through Operation Sem Desconto. An additional 1.6 million people are still awaiting reimbursement.
