Ordinance authorizes INSS contest two months after publication of public notice

The Ministry of Economy reduced to two months the minimum time between the publication of the public tender notice for 1,000 vacancies for social security technicians of the INSS (National Institute of Social Security) and the application of the first test.

The reduction appears in an ordinance published in this Monday’s edition (1st) in the Official Journal of the Union. Candidates will now have less time to prepare for the test after the syllabus is released.

The public notice must be published by December 13th – when the six-month period counting from the publication of the text that approved the opening of the competition ends, on June 13th.

The position of INSS technician requires a high school education and offers a salary of approximately R$ 6,500.

The last INSS public contest was held in 2015 and expired in 2018. At the time, 3,500 candidates were approved for 950 vacancies.

According to a survey by Fenasps (National Federation of Health Workers Unions), the INSS has a deficit of approximately 23,000 civil servants across the country, between the positions of technician and social security analyst.

Federal Revenue Contest will have 699 vacancies

In June, the federal government also approved the opening of a public tender to fill 699 vacancies at the Federal Revenue Service. In all, there will be 469 vacancies for the position of tax analyst and 230 for tax auditor.

Remuneration starts at BRL 11,000 for the position of analyst and BRL 21,000 for the position of auditor. Both positions require higher education and the expectation is that the tests for both positions will be applied on the same day.

For the Federal Revenue, the reduction to two months between the period of publication of the notice and the holding of the first test of the contest had already been approved. The deadline for publication of the notice is also closed on December 13.
