To participate in government social programs, it is necessary to register with the Cadastro Único. Social benefits, as many people know, are very important for a large part of the Brazilian people, however, there is little information and facilities to participate.
Many people experience some problems when accessing these rights, such as queues. However, Government apps aim to facilitate access. In the case of Cadastro Único, registration can be done through an app, so people can count on this convenience.
Furthermore, there are so many programs that it is common to have doubts about how to sign up. Therefore, to resolve some doubts, in this article we have gathered information that can help citizens carry out the step-by-step process to register.
The Single Registry
CadÚnico was created to bring together information about families in the country, so all the necessary data is available to governments. In general, the family can register through CRAS or through agents who visit low-income families.
The data can be used for Federal, State and city government programs. To register, you must meet some requirements.
- Firstly, the monthly income cannot be greater than half the minimum wage per person in the family
- Families with income greater than three minimum wages, provided that the beneficiary participates in social programs
- People living on the streets
- People who live alone, that is, who form so-called single-person families
Those who sign up can skip some of the bureaucracy involved in accessing social benefits. The main benefits are linked to the Single Registry, for example, the Bolsa Brasil program, which is the main benefit of the current Government.
Single Registration — Registration via the app
Using the application, you can pre-register for CadÚnico, however, is an optional way to speed up service. Then the citizen will need to go to CRAS or a nearest Single Registry office, and complete. Thus, the citizen will have up to 120 days to present the mandatory and complementary identification documents, and then prove the situation.
To access the application, citizens must download it through their cell phone's digital store. In addition to starting the registration, the user has other functions, such as issuing proof of registration, checking who the members of the family are and whether they will need their NIS number, checking the benefits that the family receives, seeing whether the registration is up to date or not. , and update registration.
Single Registration — Find out how to complete the registration
To register the family, the citizen who will complete the process must be 16 years old or over, however, it is recommended that she be the head of the family, that is, a woman. It is necessary to bring identity documents for each person in the family, that is, ID, CPF, Birth or Marriage Certificate.
During the service, the person responsible for the family will undergo an interview with a social worker. The interview seeks to find out information, that is, the real situation of the family. Filling out can be done online or not, however, in all situations the person doing the registration must sign the form.
Finally, the system will check whether anyone in the family has a NIS number, so the system will automatically only generate data for those who do not. Within 48 hours, the family that does not have a NIS will receive the number. The purpose of this is to ensure that there are no duplications.
Other questions about the registration status can be answered in the Cadastro Único application itself. It is worth remembering that registering with CadÚnico does not guarantee a place or social programs, it only facilitates the entry of those who fit the terms of each program.
