August is a key month for many families in Chile, as it is when the State usually delivers a series of economic benefits. One of these bonds is the Basic Solidarity Disability Pension, specifically intended for people facing situations of disability. This financial contribution has a monthly value of $214,296 and is designed to improve the quality of life of those who receive it, providing essential support at a time when they need it most.
The Basic Solidarity Disability Pension It is aimed at people aged between 18 and 64, but not everyone within this age range can access it. There are five key requirements that must be met to be eligible. The first is to have a disability certificate issued by a medical commission, which must certify that the person actually suffers from a disability. This ensures that the benefit reaches those who really need it.
Other requirement It is important not to be receiving a pension under any pension scheme, either as a holder or as a beneficiary of a Survivors’ Pension. This means that those who already have access to some type of pension cannot opt for this additional aid. In addition, applicants must be part of the 80% of the most vulnerable population, which is determined through a targeting score that evaluates the socioeconomic situation of the applicant and his or her family group.
Residence in Chile also plays a key role in eligibility for this benefit. Other requirement is to prove that one has resided in the country for at least five years, either continuously or discontinuously, within the six years prior to the application. This requirement seeks to ensure that the benefit is intended for those who have been living and contributing in the country for a significant period.
For those who meet all these requirements, the Basic Solidarity Disability Pension represents a significant economic relief. It is possible to verify eligibility and apply through the Chile Atiende website, where interested parties can enter their data and obtain the necessary information to access this support. This benefit is a clear example of how the State seeks to protect and improve the lives of those facing vulnerable situations.
