The Direct Social Security Portal has two new features that promise to make life easier for many Portuguese families. From now on, it is already possible to deal with two financial support over the internet: the request for the disability bonus and the third -person assistance allowance.

According to the Social Security Institute (ISS), the two services are now available online through the Direct Social Security platform. “Social Security continues to work to make more digital services that simplify people’s lives and ensure a greater speed in the treatment of requests,” the body says in a statement.

Support for children with disabilities

The first news is digital access to family bonus for children and young people with disabilities. According to ISS, this support is addressed to children and young people with disabilities under 24 who already benefited from this bonus until September 30, 2019. It can also be requested by those who have filed the request from October 1 of that year, provided that the child is up to 10 years old and needs specific support, such as therapies or attend a rehabilitation center.

To submit the order, the user must access the menu Family> Disability and Disability> Family allowance bonus for children and young people with disabilitiesselect What can I do online? and then Ask Bonus for Disability.

Allowance for permanent support from third parties

The second functionality concerns the third -person assistance subsidy. This support is intended for families with descendants with disabilities up to 11 years old, who need continuous support from a third party. According to the ISS, children, stepchildren or adopted are covered that depend on constant accompaniment.

The way to place the online order is similar to the previous one. The user must enter the menu Family> Disability and Disability> Third Person Assistance Subsidyaccess the option What can I do online?and click on Consult and request subsidy for assistance from third person.

How to register in direct social security

For those who have never used the Direct Social Security Portal, the registration process implies creating an account based on NISS and date of birth. The platform subsequently requests the choice of a verification channel to send an activation code: it may be by SMS, email or letter, depending on the contacts associated with the user.

According to the same source, if the data is updated in the system, the process can be completed totally digitally. Otherwise, the code will be sent by mail, with an average period of eight business days.

More features soon?

With these two new possibilities, Social Security reinforces its bet on digitizing services, trying to minimize travel and streamline order treatment. A date has not yet been advanced to extend other installments, but the trend is clear: the bet remains in modernization and bureaucracy.

According to this, this strategy aims to facilitate the lives of users and ensure faster processing of orders. For beneficiaries, it may represent significant relief, especially in situations that require urgent responses.
