The Accident Assistance is a benefit given by the INSS to people who suffer accidents with permanent sequelae, that is, people who are no longer able to fully exercise their trade. In this sense, they need to change jobs or adapt their functions.

In addition to accidents, the Accident Allowance also covers work-related illnesses, such as RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury).

In this way, the aid works as an indemnity for INSS insured persons. That's why today we're going to explain to you in detail how to sign up. Continue reading and find out more!

How to register for Accident Assistance?

In short, to register for the Auxílio-accident, you need to contact the number 135. In this way, remember to have some essential documents in hand to guarantee the effectiveness of the request.

That is, have at least your CPF and a document with a photo. As these are cases of accidents or work-related illnesses, it is common for representatives to request the service. 

Therefore, representatives or legal attorneys must also bring a power of attorney, as well as an identification document with a photo and CPF.

In this sense, the INSS may also ask for medical documents. That is, reports that prove the new condition of the worker. This is because it is mandatory to undergo a medical examination.

But with the help of a report, the work of INSS doctors can be much simpler. Incidentally, the INSS sets a day and time for the worker to carry out his medical examination. Until then, you must also appear with all the documents.

Finally, just wait for the institution to respond. In this case, it is possible to follow up on the internet on the Meu INSS website. That way, you can access your process and see if you've already gotten a response.

Basically, the Accident Aid is paid as compensation by the INSS. To receive it, simply access the MY INSS website or wait for the letter sent to your address that will inform the date and place of receipt. Thus, on the stipulated date, you must go to the bank to withdraw the amount of the aid.

How to withdraw the Accident Assistance?

Finally, withdrawing the Accident Allowance is very simple. As already mentioned, it is paid into an account stipulated by the INSS. So, just go to the bank's ATM and make the withdrawal normally.

So, now you know how the Accident Assistance works and also how to apply. In this sense, remember that if you have any questions other than those answered here, it is important to contact a lawyer.

That way, you can understand the specifics of your case and get the ideal help. In addition, if you are retired or pensioner of the INSS, see in this article the change of payroll loan rules. Check out!
