BENEFÍCIO DA PRESTAÇÃO CONTINUADA: ANÁLISE DOS REQUISITOS PARA SUA CONCESSÃO

Abstract

The work addresses the social and individual rights guaranteed by the 1988 Federal Constitution, especially with regard to social assistance. It examines the Continuous Payment Benefit designed to combat poverty that affects the most disadvantaged classes, aiming to universalize these rights for everyone who needs them. This is regulated by the Organic Social Assistance Law No. 8,742, of 1993. The article was based on a bibliographical research, using exploratory and explanatory methods. Sources such as the Federal Constitution, laws, decrees, court decisions and STF jurisprudence were consulted. Furthermore, data from articles, books and published works on the topic were collected to present interpretations and understandings about the analysis methodology and concepts that guide LOAS. The meticulous approach to the requirements for granting the Continuous Payment Benefit stands out, mainly in relation to poverty and per capita income in the family group. A significant change in the law was observed, resulting in changes that expanded the way in which the Continuous Payment Benefit is operationalized.
