Social Security Law
Your benefits secured with technical expertise and dedication
Brazil's social security system is notoriously complex, bureaucratic, and often unfair in how it evaluates insured individuals' benefit claims. Brazil's National Social Security Institute (INSS) frequently denies or underpays benefits that are rightfully owed — and that is where HFD Advocacia makes the difference.
Our team specializes in social security law, working to obtain, revise, and reinstate benefits with the INSS and, when necessary, through the courts. We have in-depth knowledge of the transition rules under the 2019 Social Security Reform (Constitutional Amendment 103/2019) and the particularities of each regime — the General Social Security Regime (RGPS) and the Public Servants' Social Security Regime (RPPS).
We represent urban and rural workers, public servants, and their dependents, ensuring that no legitimate benefit is denied due to administrative error or lack of awareness of the insured party's rights.
