The present study has as object the analysis of the material conditions of access to Nacional
Social Insurance Institute of insureds and beneficiaries of the General Social Security Scheme
in State of Tocantins. The purpose of the research is to investigate whether the decision of
brazilian Supreme Court in RE 631.240, which defined the previous administrative request as
a condition of social security lawsuits to be judged, can be applied in the State of Tocantins
without prejudice to human rights to percept social security and welfare benefits and to access
to jurisdiction. The central objectives of the research were the analysis of the current reality of
the material conditions of access to the Institute in each one of the Municipalities of the State
of Tocantins, in an attempt to identify the degree of ease in access to the autarchy by the
inhabitants of each of these localities, as well as the discussion of the findings from Hannah
Arendt's ideas on human rights. The method of approach and research was the deductive.
Information from various official data sources was gathered, organized, and tabulated using
Lawrence Bardin's methods and techniques for content analysis, as well as quantitative and
qualitative assessments. It was found that 99.32% of State of Tocantins’ population has regular
access to the Institute. It was concluded that, despite certain criticisms and suggestions
presented, the application of RE 631.240 does not represent a violation to those human rights
cited, and the administrative litigation with the Institute in the State of Tocantins constitutes a
true method of self-composition of conflicts.
