Goodbye interest: this is the new feature of the Social Security Portal that 'promises' to help you not lose money in these situations

Postal do Algarve1 September 2026 at 06:03

The Portal and mobile application of Social Security Direct now include a new feature that directly shows the deadline for each pending payment. Until now, this information was only available by opening each document individually, requiring users to check each detail to understand which deadlines applied.

The change allows the deadline to appear associated with the amounts due in the listing itself, eliminating the need to open each document separately. This change applies to both citizens and businesses that have pending payments with Social Security, making it simpler to quickly identify which obligations have the closest deadlines.

One of the main expected advantages is the reduction of delays caused by forgetfulness, which can help avoid associated costs such as late payment interest or fines. Social Security Direct highlights that the feature does not change the payment deadlines, but rather how the information is presented to the user.

The new tool may also be useful in financial planning, both for families who wish to organize their monthly budget and for businesses that need to manage their treasury more efficiently. The measure is part of a strategy to update Social Security's digital platforms, with the aim of providing more relevant information at the time of consultation.

Apple carried out its first change in command since Steve Jobs' death in 2011, with Tim Cook leaving the CEO position after 15 years, being replaced by John Ternus, who was senior vice president of hardware engineering. Cook leaves as a legacy the transformation of Apple into a financial powerhouse, raising the company's market value from $350 billion to $4.5 trillion in a decade and a half, despite not having launched a product as revolutionary as the iPhone.
