the family allowance
Determined by articles 65 to 70 of Law nº 8.213/91, the family allowance is a benefit granted to CLT workers with children under 14 or with certain disabilities.
The benefit is paid to all workers in the CLT system, regardless of their fixed salary. In addition, the value also varies according to the number of dependents that the individual has. Thus, this benefit aims to complement the salary of low-income workers.
Who can receive this benefit?
To find out who is entitled to family allowance this year, observe the following necessary conditions:
- Have and prove monthly income of up to R$ 1,655.98;
- Families that have children up to 14 years old or people with disabilities (PwD) (of a mental, physical, intellectual or sensorial nature) of any age;
Those who are retired due to advanced age (men aged 65 or over or women aged 60 or over) or due to disability are entitled to this benefit. It is also worth mentioning that this benefit must be renewed every year.
Another point is that children under six years of age in these families must present their vaccination card every year at the month of November, and for children aged 7 to 14 years, verification of school attendance between the months of May and November.
Documents required to receive the family allowance
In order to obtain the benefit, it is necessary to present the following documents:
- RG and CPF;
- Birth certificate of dependents;
- School records for 7-14 year olds;
- Vaccination card for dependents under 6 years of age;
- Term of responsibility (available on the Social Security website).
What is the new value of the family allowance?
The payment of the benefit is calculated annually, exactly like the other benefits of the National Institute of Social Security (INSS). Thus, the family salary will be R$ 56.47 in 2022. That is, all children under 14 or with a disability are entitled to benefits.
