Benefits Linked to the Single Registry (CadÚnico)
The Unified Registry (CadÚnico) is the gateway to several social programs of the Federal Government, allowing low-income families to receive financial support and access to essential services. Among the most relevant benefits are:
Family Bag
Bolsa Família is an essential social program that offers direct monthly financial support to low-income families, helping to supplement income and ensure adequate nutrition and the well-being of children.
The benefit also encourages school attendance and monitoring of child and maternal health, with requirements related to vaccinations and medical appointments.
Eligibility depends on family income, family composition, and compliance with these requirements. Keeping your CadÚnico (Single Registry for Social Programs) updated is essential to ensure that the family is included in the program and receives the benefit correctly and continuously.
Gas Allowance
The Gas Assistance Program is a financial benefit intended for low-income families registered in the Unified Registry for Social Programs ( CadÚnico ), which helps with the purchase of cooking gas cylinders (LPG).
Beneficiaries receive a sum of money equivalent to the calculated price of a 13-kilogram gas cylinder, deposited directly into the account of the registered responsible party.
The goal is to reduce essential household expenses, ensuring that vulnerable families have continuous and safe access to cooking gas.
To receive the Gas Assistance benefit, the family must have their information updated in the CadÚnico (Single Registry for Social Programs) and meet the required income criteria.
Payment is usually made every two months and can be done via bank transfer, social security card, or other official channels defined by the Federal Government.
People's Light Program
The Luz do Povo program offers discounts on electricity bills for families registered in the CadÚnico (Single Registry for Social Programs), guaranteeing access to electricity at a reduced cost.
The discount amount varies according to the consumption bracket and the per capita income of the household.
Families with an income of up to half the minimum wage per person may be eligible for partial or total exemption from basic consumption charges, while higher income brackets receive proportional discounts.
The benefit is automatically applied when the data in the Unified Registry for Social Programs (CadÚnico) is updated and validated by the local energy provider, helping to reduce essential expenses and promoting social and energy inclusion.
Other Social Programs
The Unified Registry (CadÚnico) allows access to a variety of other social programs , ensuring that low-income families receive comprehensive support.
Initiatives linked to the Registry include: priority service in public agencies, inclusion in housing programs, school meals, medical assistance, and benefits directed to people with disabilities or the elderly.
The registration also serves to identify special needs, facilitating participation in temporary emergency support initiatives.
Keeping the Unified Registry (CadÚnico) updated is essential to ensure that all benefit opportunities are correctly applied, promoting social justice and guaranteeing that vulnerable families receive adequate and continuous assistance.
Important informations
It is important to highlight that the CadÚnico itself does not have a fixed monetary value , but it functions as a database that enables access to different benefits, each with its own rules.
To ensure that all rights are respected, it is essential to keep your registration up to date , reporting changes in income, address, or family composition, and always consult official channels , such as the Gov.br Portal and the local CRAS ( Social Assistance Reference Center ), avoiding incorrect or fraudulent information.
In this way, the Unified Registry (CadÚnico) ensures that government resources arrive in a fair and organized manner, benefiting families most in need and promoting social inclusion by 2026.
