Seniors over 65 in Brazil have good news: they now have access to a monthly benefit of R$1,412 through the National Institute of Social Security (INSS). Thus, this increase in the amount of the Continuous Benefit Payment of the Organic Law of Social Assistance (BPC-LOAS) represents an important financial support for seniors who prove they do not have the means to provide for their own maintenance or that of their family. Thus, BPC-LOAS is an aid offered by the INSS for seniors in situations of social vulnerability, guaranteeing the payment of a minimum wage per month to help cover basic expenses.
To access this benefit, seniors must meet three basic requirements established by the INSS: be 65 years of age or older, be Brazilian or naturalized, and have a per capita family income of less than a quarter of the minimum wage. Therefore, after verifying that they meet the necessary requirements, seniors can follow a simple process to request the benefit entirely online, through the Meu INSS portal.
