For generations, Brazil's retirees have made an annual pilgrimage to the bank simply to confirm their own existence — a quiet indignity woven into the fabric of pension life. Beginning in 2023, the INSS is inverting that relationship: the state will now seek out proof of life on its own, combing through vaccination records, health visits, electoral rolls, and identity documents so that pensioners need not. It is a modest but meaningful redistribution of burden — from the citizen who must prove themselves to the institution that must now do the searching.
