This article contributes to the debate on the solvency of the General Social Security System (RGPS) in Brazil, a simple distribution system whose parameters differ from international standards in terms of population, economy and social aspects. Following mainly the methodology of Bohn (1998, 2007), we can evidence that, during the period from January 1990 to December 2010, the RGPS social welfare balance has four distinct regimes, with only one of them characterized as insolvent, during the period from April 1994 to October 1997, associated with the effects of the enactment of Law No. 8.213/91. Unlike several studies argue about the situation of the RGPS, the results suggest a recent non-explosive trend for Brazilian social security system, especially the period after October 2006, in response to the closure of the first phase of the census and the creation of Super Simple. Thus, despite the concern of society regarding the successive monthly deficits, the government participation in the scheme has represented smaller shares of GDP, a relevant signaling solvency to implementing public policies associated with social welfare reform. However, this conclusion does not invalidate the need for adjustments to the system, since reaction from the government are effective in order to control the deficit of the social security.
