According to the Government, the Elderly Card offers an important social benefit for people over 60 years of age. These people must have an individual income of up to 2 minimum wages.

The benefit can be used to guarantee access to services and programs specially developed for the “best age”.

However, to use this benefit, you must be registered in the Federal Government's Single Registry for Social Programs. 

However, there is no need to worry, as this registry is a national database that gathers information about low-income families, including elderly people who fall into this category.
