The Social Security Bank (BPS) offers a regimen of contributions for prisoners who produce goods or services to be marketed. The taxes will be allocated to social security and inmates have the option of taking an additional one to have health coverage.
Those who wish to access the plan must present their productive project before the INational Rehabilitation Institute (INR), through which the products are marketed. The director of the BPS, Daniela Barindelli, reported to The Observer that the INR is the one who must approve the project and then carry out the procedures before the social security agency.
The projects can be individual or up to five members. “None have been registered yet, but we know that there are projects submitted to the INR for approvalBarindelli said. He added that all undertakings are associative, that is, they involve several prisoners.
“The institute retains the tribute and then pays it to the BPS. The project is registered and if, for example, there are five people, each one has to contribute to the bank. It’s a unified social contribution for people deprived of liberty,” he explained. The scheme was approved in the Accountability last year and is part of the Labor Dignity Plan that promotes job creation for the prison population.
Each prisoner who has or is part of a project and wants to access the plan will contribute about a ficto equivalent of 5 Benefit and Contribution Bases (BPC), which are currently equivalent to $6,849. The tax covers the retirement contribution (Montepío) and the one corresponding to Labor Reconversion Fund (FRL).
Barindelli explained that the first year they make a payment for 25% of the total contribution, the second for 50%, the third for 75% and after 36 months for 100%. The contributors They can also choose to have medical coverage of the National Integrated Health System (SNIS) and provide it to their children, spouse or partner. Then, must make an additional contribution.
“The unified social contribution includes the contribution to social security and the FRL. Does not include the SNIS. If the person wants, she can take the option of contributing as any normal enterprise does, ”clarified the director of the organization.
“It is very interesting that this regime is being implemented, it is a very valid solution for all people who are deprived of liberty, but it also has a lot to do with therehabilitation and reintegration into the world of work once they get out,” he said.
“It is also good that they are busy, doing something productive, that they acquire job skills. It was specifically intended for those people, ”she added.
