Márcia asks: I have 8 years and 10 months of contributions, can I retire?

The rule today is that in order to retire by age (for women), you need to have at least fifteen years of contributions. In your case, Márcia, that wouldn't work. As for contribution time, you'd need to have at least thirty years (general rules), which also doesn't work. So, in this case, you need to keep contributing in order to get your pension.
