Introduction: The Single Registry (CadÚnico) is an extremely important tool for social inclusion in Brazil. Created by the Federal Government, CadÚnico is a database that gathers socioeconomic information on low-income families in the country. In this article, we will explore the importance and benefits of CadÚnico for people over 60 years of age, highlighting how this initiative contributes to guaranteeing rights and access to public policies.
- CadÚnico: a gateway to social programs The Cadastro Único acts as a gateway to several social programs and benefits, such as Bolsa Família, the Continuous Benefit Payment (BPC) and the Minha Casa Minha Vida Program. For people over 60 years of age, CadÚnico is essential to access these programs, which have provided improvements and enhancements to their living conditions.
- Access to health and social assistance Through CadÚnico, seniors can have access to health and social assistance services. Based on the information recorded in the registry, it is possible to identify the specific needs of this age group and direct resources to meet health-related demands, such as the distribution of free medicines and access to specialized exams and treatments.
- Exemptions and discounts on fares and taxes CadÚnico also allows people over 60 years of age to have access to benefits related to fares and taxes. Several Brazilian municipalities offer exemptions on payment of public transportation fares, urban property and land tax (IPTU) and even on electricity bills, alleviating the financial burden for this segment of the population.
- Digital inclusion and access to productive inclusion programs With the advancement of technology, CadÚnico has adapted to include information on internet access and ownership of electronic devices by families. This is especially relevant for the elderly, who often face difficulties in adapting to new technologies. CadÚnico, by identifying this need, can direct digital inclusion and training programs for the use of electronic devices, promoting the productive inclusion of the elderly.
- Periodic renewal of CadÚnico It is important to emphasize that Cadastro Único requires periodic registration of registered information. This ensures that the data is up to date and that families are receiving the appropriate benefits. Therefore, it is essential that people over 60 and their families are aware of the deadlines for achieving registration updates, in order to ensure continued access to programs and benefits.
Conclusion: The Single Registry is an essential tool for the social inclusion of people over 60 in Brazil. Through it, it is possible to guarantee access to social programs, health services, tariff benefits and digital inclusion, promoting the improvement of living conditions and the guarantee of rights for this segment of the population. It is essential that everyone is aware of the importance of keeping the registry up to date in order to fully enjoy the benefits offered by the Single Registry. Thus, we want a more just and egalitarian society, where everyone can have opportunities for development and quality of life.
