The Benefit of Continuous Provision (BPC), provided for by the Organic Law of Social Assistance (LOAS), is a guarantee monthly minimum wage for seniors over 65 years of age or for people with disabilities, regardless of age.
In the latter case, the condition must cause some long-term disability (affecting for at least 2 years), be it physical, mental, intellectual or sensory, that prevents them from participating fully and effectively in society compared to others individuals.
However, the BPC is not a retirement. However, many are still in doubt whether, to obtain it, it is necessary to contribute to the INSS. Unlike social security benefits, the BPC does not pay the 13th salary, nor does it leave a death pension.
As it is a benefit aimed at social assistance, the answer is no. To be eligible for the BPC, the person does not need to contribute or have contributed to Social Security. Also, it's not about retirement either.
Once the conditions of the beneficiary family have been analyzed, they will receive the amount of R$ 1,212 as a benefit. It is worth mentioning that the value accompanies the minimum wage and changes each year after adjustments in the final result.
In short, this benefit is intended for children and young people with disabilities, but also for those who meet the pre-requisite conditions for the benefit, regardless of their age. However, vulnerable seniors aged 65 and over can also apply for this help.
