Prison Aid is a controversial and often misunderstood topic. Some people believe that it encourages crime, while others believe that it guarantees rights for the families of prisoners. 

As it is a little-known program in Brazil, it still causes doubts in many people. This is financial assistance that is paid by the National Social Security Institute (INSS) 

Now, regardless of opinion, it is important to understand how it works, who is entitled to it and how to request it. 

In this article, we will explore these aspects and dispel the myths that some misinformation conveys about the benefit.

Prison Aid is one of the most discussed government programs, mainly because it is related to prisoners. Even though it is widely talked about, few people actually know how it works.

In short, this benefit pays a specific amount to the dependents of a person who was INSS insured and is currently imprisoned in a closed regime.

It is a way of guaranteeing social protection for the prisoner's family, who are often left helpless when the provider is detained.

But what many people don't know is that Prison Aid is a benefit that is difficult to access and is not available to anyone who has a relative in prison.

In other words, to receive the benefit, it is necessary to fulfill a series of requirements.

Furthermore, the value of the benefit is not fixed and varies according to the insured person's contribution salary. In other words, the higher the prisoner's salary, the higher the value of the benefit. 

On the other hand, the maximum amount paid by the INSS is R$1,425.56, which is often not enough to meet all the needs of the prisoner's family.

Imprisonment Aid is offered, especially, to the family that was financially dependent on a person who was detained.

Some examples of dependents are: spouse, children up to 21 years of age or even family members with intellectual, mental or severe disabilities.

In other words, Prison Aid is a way of guaranteeing the social protection of people who depended on the prisoner before his detention. 

However, to receive the benefit, it is necessary to fulfill a series of requirements and prove the condition of economic dependence.

When an INSS insured person is arrested, it is not just him who suffers the consequences. Your family is also affected by the lack of financial resources.

Therefore, Prison Aid was created, with the aim of offering help to the prisoner's dependents.

But make no mistake, the maximum amount paid is not exorbitant. In fact, it is equivalent to the minimum wage in force in the country. This value is currently R$ 1,302. 

The main objective of Prison Aid is to provide support to the family of the prisoner, previously INSS insured, who is in a closed regime. Some of the benefits include:
