Brasília - Federal District and the municipalities will have to identify people with disabilities who receive the Continuous Cash Benefit (BPC), between 16 and 45 years, to participate in the Work Programme GCP, which aims to provide beneficiaries access to work programs learning and professional training.
The BPC will work to mediate supply and demand of labor of persons with disabilities, considering the skills and interests of workers and encouraging self-employed entrepreneurs and cooperatives through access to microcredit.
The training programs will be offered by the federal vocational education and learning national entities, such as the National Service of Industrial Learning (Senai), the Social Service of Industry (SESI) and the National Service of Commercial Learning (Senac).
The program was launched by decree published in Official Gazette by the Ministry of Social Development and Hunger Combat (MDS), in partnership with the Ministries of Education, Labor, and the Department of Human Rights (SDH) . The BPC is part of the National Work Rights of People with Disabilities - Living Without Limits, November 2011.
According to the decree, the Federal District and municipalities will be responsible for running the program. Should seek guidance and potentially interested in participating beneficiaries, designate servers, register for referrals under the program and ensure access for people with disabilities to services and benefits.
The program features will be the Support Fund (FAT) and the National Youth Inclusion (ProJovem).
Have access to the BPC to receive a minimum wage (R$ 622), people proved unable to live independently and work - through evaluation of social service and medical expertise of the National Institute of Social Security (INSS) - whose monthly household income per capita less than one fourth of the minimum wage (about R$ 155).
This benefit is paid for through the Social Security System Social Assistance (His), and suspended if the person passes to have higher incomes.
For the coordinator of the rights of disabled people from the Brazilian Institute of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (IBDD), Priscilla Selares, despite the expectation of the program is positive, the ordinance is vague and contradictory, it mentions that you can participate the program a person must have a disability that disables for independent life and work.
According to Law 8.742/93, which regulates the BPC will receive the benefit of those who have "impairments of long-term physical, intellectual or sensory impairments which in interaction with various barriers may hinder their full and effective participation in society with others. "
"The contradiction is a measure that seeks to promote the supply of labor, but it establishes as a prerequisite condition of not working and having an independent life," said Priscilla. She said the program does not envisage major difficulties that disabled people face in entering the labor market, as the suspension of the BPC if any increase in income derived from work.
"Today, regardless of politics, what is most important is to have clearly regulated the issue of suspension. No use having a policy if the person does not feel safe to forgo the benefit. This aspect has failed to be addressed more clearly. The big concern is this, "said the coordinator of IBDD.
