In the case of cash benefits, the application will be decided by the Provincial Directorate of the INSS where the application was submitted.

In the event that the student moves or transfers to another province with health insurance coverage, they must inform the Provincial Directorate that was responsible for the transfer, so that their file can be transferred to the new province.

When the health care has been received in a non-collaborative centre, and the student has paid the bills, they must justify their prior payment to the centre with the INSS. Either by a proof of payment of the invoice (bank transfer) or the stamp of the payment of the invoice by the centre.
