Free access to health service
The legislation says that the Unified Health System (SUS) must guarantee comprehensive care for the elderly. In addition, seniors over 80 will always have a certain priority over other patients, except in emergency cases, where a person needs immediate care.
free medicine
The law guarantees free medication for seniors over 60 years of age, especially those for continuous use. These medicines can be picked up at government-owned health networks or at pharmacies that have an agreement with the popular pharmacy.
FGTS
For those who have the Severance Indemnity Fund (FGTS), you can redeem it when you retire, or when you turn 70. To receive this amount, you need to go to a Caixa agency and present the document that proves the benefit and an identity document to prove your age.
BPC
This is a benefit given to seniors who have not been able to retire because they do not meet the necessary requirements.
In this case, people over 65 years of age, with an income of less than a quarter of the minimum wage, are entitled to receive the Continuous Cash Benefit, the famous BPC. The amount paid is R$ 1212, according to the 2022 floor and can be requested at the INSS, but for that you need to be enrolled in the Single Registry.
Property tax exemption
This is for seniors over 60 who have a single property in the municipality. To receive the IPTU exemption, you must have an income of up to 3 minimum wages and apply for the benefit in the city.
Income Tax Exemption
This will depend on the amount of the benefit, however, retirees and pensioners may have an extra exemption from Income Tax.
