There is one program at the Federal level of government that supports people with disabilities called the Pension Program for the Welfare of People with Disabilities. However, potential beneficiaries are only children and adolescents as well as young people (0 to 29 years old) who have permanent disabilities, and for indigenous population with disabilities from 0 to 64 years old. Since 2016, following the initiatives in most of the states, the federal government established a universal old age pension. Eligibility sets minimum age of 68 years (65 years if living in indigenous municipalities) and who do not receive any public or private sector old age pension or any similar program from their state of residence.
