Although there are ways to contribute to the INSS, such as the worker in the Consolidation of Labor Laws (CLT) regime, the Individual Microentrepreneur (MEI) or by issuing a booklet, many people never contributed or collaborated little with the Social Security.
In this case, the result is the impossibility of requesting benefits normally provided by the INSS to Brazilian workers, such as retirement and pensions, sick pay, family allowance, among others. others.
However, this reality may sound harsh to many people, especially those on low incomes who are unable to work. As a result, the government has an alternative to serve this group of citizens, which is the Continuous Provision Benefit (BPC).
The BPC is an assistance that grants a minimum wage to low-income seniors aged 65 or over, or to people of any age who have a disability that causes serious limitations.
Although the benefit is similar to a retirement, in fact it is not. This is because he is not covered by Social Security, does not present a 13th salary and the beneficiary does not need to have contributed to the INSS.
As with any other benefit, citizens must meet the criteria required for the BPC. The first is to be aged 65 or over or have a disability. The beneficiary must also be Brazilian, have a per capita monthly family income of a maximum of ¼ of the current minimum wage and be enrolled in the Single Registry (CadÚnico).
Interested parties can apply for the BPC through the official INSS website or through the “Meu INSS” mobile application. Just look for the “Agendamentos/Requests” function, access the request option and search for the corresponding benefit. It is also possible to request the BPC through the INSS Service Center, through the number 135.
