Rio de Janeiro retirees face November deadline for life proof validation

Retirees and pensioners in Rio de Janeiro linked to Rioprevidência must complete their annual 'Prova de Vida' (Life Proof) by November 2 to avoid payment suspension. Due to specific legal and operational requirements, these civil and military beneficiaries do not receive automatic validation and must perform the update actively.

The current cycle affects a significant portion of the state's 230,000 beneficiaries, with deadlines organized by birth month. To prevent the immediate blocking of payments, users can complete the process digitally via the Gov.br app using Silver or Gold level credentials. The digital procedure involves accessing the 'Serviços' tab, selecting 'Prova de vida', and performing facial recognition.

For those unable to use the digital platform, assistance is available through Rioprevidência service centers or via their Citizen Service (SAC) at 0800 285 8191 or (21) 3850-3350.
