Public Policy Measure

The Social Insertion Benefit is a social policy measure designed to protect people who find themselves in a situation of extreme poverty:
– a cash benefit to ensure that their minimum needs are met and
– an insertion programme that includes a contract (a set of actions established according to the characteristics and conditions of the applicant’s household), aimed at the progressive social, labour and community insertion of its members.

This social insertion benefit was created under Law no. 13/2003, of 21 May in its current wording, and by Ministerial Order no. 257/2012, of 27 August in its current wording, which establishes the respective implementing rules.
