Elderly people over 65 in Brazil have good news: they now have access to a monthly benefit of R$ 1,412 through the National Social Security Institute (INSS). Thus, this increase in the amount of the Continuous Cash Benefit under the Organic Social Assistance Law (BPC-LOAS) represents important financial support for elderly people who can prove that they have no means of providing for their own maintenance and that of their family. In this way, BPC-LOAS is assistance offered by the INSS intended for elderly people in situations of social vulnerability, guaranteeing the payment of one minimum wage per month to help cover basic expenses.
To access this benefit, elderly people must meet three basic requirements established by the INSS: be 65 years old or older, be Brazilian or naturalized, and have a per capita family income below one quarter of the minimum wage. Therefore, after verifying that they meet the necessary requirements, elderly people can follow a simple process to apply for the benefit entirely online through the Meu INSS portal.
