Another group he serves and makes all the difference in their lives are people with disabilities.
That is, if you have long-term impediments (with a minimum duration of 2 years) that hinder their full participation in society, the BPC is here to help.
It doesn't matter if your disability is physical, mental, intellectual or sensory.
See below how it works!
How does the Continuous Benefit Payment work?
THE BPC is like a trusted friend who offers a minimum wage per monthBut that's not all!
It also opens doors to other benefits. Beneficiaries of this program are entitled to benefits such as Bolsa Família and the Social Electricity Tariff.
To qualify, the participant's family income is considered and must be equal to or less than 1/4 of the minimum wage.
This means that the BPC It's for those who really need it.
Considering the minimum wage for 2024, which is R$ 1,412, the applicant must not have a family income greater than R$ 353.00.
Another important factor in the functioning of the Continuous Benefit Payment is the medical and social evaluation.
If you are a person with a disability, you will undergo an assessment at INSSThey will analyze your situation and ensure you receive the support you need.
How much is paid monthly?
The financial benefit is equivalent to one minimum wage. That is, starting in January 2024, beneficiaries will receive R$ 1,412.00.
As the minimum wage changes, this benefit undergoes changes in the minimum per capita income and also in the financial transfer.
So, always keep an eye on this issue.
How to Request BPC?
