There is the Continuous Cash Benefit (Benefício de Prestação Continuada – BPC) which is an income transfer benefit for people of any age with disability or for people aged 65 and over with long term cognitive or physical impairments. The value of the BPC reflects one national minimum wage. In order to receive this benefit, the monthly per capita household income must be equivalent to up to ¼ of the value of the monthly national minimum wage (Rodrigues, 2019a).
