So, while retirement is a right acquired through contributions, BPC is an assistance benefit for those who really need financial help.

The BPC family group is important for calculating whether the person is entitled to the benefit.
In this sense, it includes those who live in the same house.
For example, the beneficiary, spouse, children and stepchildren under the age of 21, parents, unmarried siblings, and sometimes grandchildren.
Everyone's total income is added up and divided by the number of people in the family.
If the value per person is less than a quarter of the minimum wage, BPC may be granted.
Ultimately, this ensures that the benefit goes to those who are truly in a bad economic situation, helping those who need it most.
How to apply:
To ask for the BPC, you must be registered in Single Registry for Federal Government Social Programs (CadÚnico).
After that, just make the request at INSS, which will analyze whether all criteria are being met. If everything is correct, the benefit is granted.
THE BPC does not entitle the person to the 13th salary and, if the family's income improves or if the person no longer meets the requirements, the benefit may be suspended.
