A PRECARIZAÇÃO DA DIVULGAÇÃO DO BENEFÍCIO DE PRESTAÇÃO CONTINUADA – BPC: Uma revisão integrativa de literatura

Abstract

The objective of this research was to investigate, analyze and reflect on the precariousness of
the disclousure of the Continuous Cash Benefit (BPC). With this purpose, the research was
structured as a bibliographical study that used the Integrative Literature Review (ILR) as a
method. In this sense, the results of this study point to a lack of information among BPC
beneficiaries who,even recognizing the differences between conventional retirement and BPC,
frequently, they confuse the origin of the benefit, mistakenly associating it with social security
insurance instead of assistance. It is thus concluded that the results of these studies point to a
worrying lack of understanding and lack of information among beneficiaries of the Continuous
Cash Benefit (BPC). The participants, even recognizing the difference between conventional
retirement and the BPC, they often confuse the origin of the benefit, mistakenly associating it
with social security insurance instead of social assistance. This reflects on a distorted
perception, considering the BPC as a divine and state benevolence, evidencing the lack of
knowledge about their own condition as beneficiaries and the precariousness of work faced
throughout their lives. Therefore, this lack of understanding and misinformation among BPC
beneficiaries, It is a serious problem, as it can result in difficulties in accessing the benefit to
which they are entitled. In addition, confusion about the origin of the benefit can lead to
misinterpretations of their rights and responsibilities, further damaging their socioeconomic
situation. It is important to highlight the relevance of the results of these studies, as they point
to the urgent need for effective strategies for information and dissemination of the BPC.
Therefore, the responsibility for passing on information about the BPC is collective and covers
different governmental and professional spheres, it is concluded that the BPC needs to be an
instrument of dissemination and information for all.
