Today (11) the deadline for families registered in the Cadastro Único (CadÚnico) to update the data ends. According to the Ministry of Citizenship, this year only families with registries last reviewed in 2016 or 2017 were invited to update information in the municipalities.
The cadastral review process was staggered due to the impacts caused by the covid-19 pandemic. With this, families who last updated data in 2018 or 2019 will be summoned in the coming years.
“Families registered in the Cadastro Único must update the data every two years, or whenever there is any change. Anyone summoned to investigate and review data must attend a Social Assistance Reference Center or a CadÚnico service station in the municipality,” the ministry said in a statement.
The current deadline had been extended due to the large queues that have been formed in Social Assistance Reference Centers (Cras) across the country.
According to the ministry, the cadastral update is “fundamental to ensure the quality of the data and ensure that the information recorded in the Cadastro Único is always in accordance with the reality of the families”.
The measure is mandatory for continuing to receive benefits paid through social programs such as Auxílio Brasil, the Benefício de Prestação Continuada (BPC), the Social Electricity Tariff (TSEE) and ID Jovem.
