In principle, the main benefit of Housewife Allowance is the Continuous Payment Benefit. In this sense, it is a benefit that is linked to Social Security.

In fact, this benefit is very similar to Inclusion Aid. This is because it is also part of the Continuous Payment Benefit. In other words, it is also aimed at people in low-income situations. 

But Inclusion Aid is granted to people with disabilities who enter the job market. In this way, offering an incentive for this population to remain in their places without becoming destitute.

Who is entitled to assistance?

In short, as we have already mentioned, there are some conditions for receiving Housewife Allowance. In this sense, it is first necessary to have a monthly income of less than ¼ of the minimum wage. This averages out to R$275. 

In addition, your family group also needs to be registered with CadÚnico. As a whole, only those who are over 65 years old can receive the Housewife Allowance benefit. Or, you have any type of disability. Be it physical, intellectual, mental or sensorial.

Therefore, if you fall into this group, know that the request is very simple. We will explain it better below. 

How do you know if you will receive Housewife Allowance?

Finally, to register for the Housewife Auxiliary benefit you must go through an interview with a social worker. This step is common in the continuous benefit benefit. 

This is because the government needs to understand your context and discover your family’s real needs. Furthermore, with a visit from a social worker it is possible that she will indicate even more benefits for your family group.

Therefore, after registering with Meu INSS, you can also monitor the status of your process. This can be done either via the website or the app.

However, if you prefer, you can also do this by calling 135 directly. Want to know more about the aid application process? So, read the recommended content below.
