Arranged in Ordinance Dirben/INSS N 949, of November 18, 2021, the benefit provides for more autonomy for people with disabilities. For this, it offers a payment of half the minimum wage to beneficiaries, which currently corresponds to the amount of R$ 606.00. In this way, people with some type of disability are encouraged to find paid activities without losing income.
Any citizen who received the BPC in the last 5 years is entitled to the Inclusion Aid. However, it is also required that informal activities have been the main source of income during that same period, with an income lower than or equal to at least two minimum wages.
In addition, the following requirements must be met:
If you meet these requirements, just ask for help through the Meu INSS website or app. It is also possible to request through the call center 135, with service available from Monday to Saturday.

Then, select the “service” or “benefit” option and fill in your details. After following these steps, your profile will undergo an analysis that can be followed in the “Check Orders” section.
