. O benefício de prestação continuada e a dignidade da pessoa humana: uma análise da flexibilização do critério de renda familiar

Abstract

In light of the promotion of human dignity and social protection as fundamental pillars of the Brazilian state, the Continuous Cash Benefit stands out as protection for the most vulnerable layers of society. Research is conducted on the understanding of the flexibility of the family income requirement in granting the Continuous Cash Benefit (BPC), aiming to analyze if such flexibility contributes to the promotion of human 4 dignity. To do so, it is necessary to explain the creation of social security, analyze the aspects of the BPC in the Organic Law of Social Assistance, understand the principle of human dignity, and analyze the jurisprudence of the STF and STJ regarding the topic. A descriptive research with a bibliographic review is conducted using a qualitative deductive method. Therefore, it is found that the flexibility of family income is necessary for the effective social protection and promotion of human dignity. This leads to the conclusion that there have been advancements in this aspect, although there are still gaps to be filled for the total protection of the most vulnerable.
