Benefits of CadÚnico: see the list of all benefits

Do you know what the benefits of CadÚnico? The Single Registry offers many programs and benefits for Brazilians.

Therefore, it is very important to know under what conditions you and your family can be considered and to be aware of your rights as a Brazilian citizen.

Benefits of CadÚnico: what is CadÚnico?

At first, CadÚnico (Registration for Federal Government Social Programs), is the main tool for identifying the socioeconomic situation of low-income families in Brazil.

In short, it is precisely registration in this program that gives low-income families access to Federal Government programs.

Therefore, to have access to benefits such as: Bolsa Família, Auxílio Gás, Tarifa Social de Energia Elétrica, Benefícios de Presidada, among others that we will see later, registration is important.

However, simply registering for the program does not mean automatic access to the benefits offered by the government. Each situation is governed by rules and criteria that the person must meet, which we will see below.

Benefits of CadÚnico: who is entitled?

Who actually has the right to register for this program to receive the benefits?

In short, any low-income family can register with the Single Registry, however, there is no guarantee of receiving any benefits, since each social program has its own eligibility rules, as I have already mentioned.

To find out if you are entitled to any benefit, you need to know the rules for each one separately. In fact, on our blog, you can find complete content about the main social programs of the Brazilian government.

At the end of this text, I will leave the link to the main ones so you can check them out and see if you are eligible, so be sure to check out each one of them.

Now, see below who can use this service:

• Families living on a monthly income of up to half the minimum wage per person (target audience of the system);
• Families with higher incomes can also apply to participate in specific programs and services.

Therefore, when registering to access the benefits of CadÚnico, You will be able to see which social programs your family fits into, with the main criterion always being per capita income.

Remember, pay attention to the service provided through the social program you want, your approval occurs after an analysis of different criteria and data, which you must provide to the public body.

Generally, this process is carried out at CRASS or some other social assistance body in your municipality.

If you have any questions, seek information from your local city hall.

How do I register to be entitled to CadÚnico benefits?

Firstly, to access the benefits you need to register, which consists of two steps, pre-registration which can be done online, and in-person registration, done directly by the family's head of household

In this sense, regarding pre-registration, it can be easily carried out through the CadÚnico application, “select the pre-registration option and provide the data so that family registration can be expedited”.

See the in-person process:

• Family member with: CPF or Voter Registration Card;
• For other family members, any of the documents for each person in the family: Birth Certificate, Marriage Certificate, CPF, ID, Work Card or Voter Registration Card.

In addition, bring proof of residence, school certificates for school-age children and vaccination cards.

Benefits of CadÚnico: people without documents, how does it work?

If family members do not have the necessary documentation, the CadÚnico interviewer must conduct the interview anyway, and guide the individual to provide the documents.

In turn, if the person has never been registered, they are entitled to a free first copy of the certificate; registration is direct for low-income families.

However, if the person without documents was the person responsible for the family, the interviewer will continue with the process.

However, the registration will be complete and the family will not be able to benefit from the program until this situation is resolved.
