Im looking to fly from Newark to Brazil on United airlines and then Brazil to Argentina on an Brazilian airline called Gol. Im worried that I may have to collect my bags in Brazil and then check them in with Gol...all of this in a one hour time period (layover time). Is this something that I have to do or will United make the transition for me since I booked the flight ticket all the way to Argentina and not on separate tickets?

As São Paulo is your entry point in Brazil, you will need to get your bags and check them it again. – Marcel P. May 15 '18 at 18:23

@MarcelP. This is only correct if she has another flight within Brazil. – mdd May 15 '18 at 19:59

If you only have an international connection in Brazil (e.g. Newark-Sao Paulo-Buenos Aires), you do not need to fetch your bags or go through immigration.
If you have a connecting flight within Brazil (e.g. Newark-Sao Paulo-Rio de Janeiro-Buenos Aires), you do need to fetch your bags, go through immigration & customs, and check your bags again.
