Abstract

This article intends to address the changes suffered by the social security benefit of death pension, within the scope of the General Social Security System - RGPS, with Law No. 13.135/2015 (result of the conversion of MP No. 664/14) and Constitutional Amendment No. 103/2019 and its relations with the principle of prohibition of retrogression. The work was developed based on bibliographical research and support in national legislation and doctrine, discussing in a succinct way about: social security in Brazil and its organization in General Regime, the death pension and the main changes implemented with the publication of the legal norms discussed. Despite being positive for social security accounts and control over possible fraud in the granting of this benefit, it is concluded that these legislative changes generate restriction and even suppression of access to this fundamental social right that protects the family nucleus, when analyzed under the prism of the principle from prohibition to social regression.
