Even in the middle of the month, there is still a lot of social support to receive. Social Security has released the payment calendar for October, which includes subsidies and social benefits to be transferred by the end of the month. Knowing the exact dates can help to better organize the family budget and plan expenses, especially for those who depend on this regular help.
According to the information available on the official Social Security portal, there are also subsidies scheduled for the next few days, including the Social Insertion Income and the 2nd payment for Unemployment, Sickness, Parenting and Social Action, in addition to the Informal Caregiver Support Subsidy.
What remains to be paid in October
According to the organization, the Social Insertion Income (RSI) will be paid on October 23rd. On October 28th, the 2nd payment will be made for various social benefits, including Unemployment, Illness, Parenting and Social Action, the date on which the value of the Informal Caregiver Support Allowance will also be transferred.
All of this support will be paid by bank transfer or postal order, with the exception of income support, which is processed exclusively by bank transfer.
A simulator that helps you discover new supports
Social Security also provides an online simulator that allows you to understand, in a few minutes, whether the citizen is entitled to any of the more than 60 existing social supports. According to the organization’s portal, the questionnaire takes around seven minutes to complete and returns an indicative result, depending on the data entered.
“The objective is to allow, in a simple and quick way, each person to know the benefits and subsidies to which they may be entitled and how to request them”, can be read on the website. The result is not binding, but serves as a reference to identify potential support.
Data you will need to use the simulator
To obtain a reliable result, it is necessary to correctly enter some information, namely the gross annual income, the value of the movable assets and, if applicable, the degree of incapacity or disability.
Gross annual income, explains Social Security, corresponds to the total amount earned by a person throughout the year before any deductions: including salaries, pensions, rent, investments or social benefits. Anyone who submitted an IRS declaration can check this amount directly in the document.
Movable assets include bank deposits, shares, savings certificates, bonds and other financial investments. The value must reflect the situation at the time the benefit is requested.
If there is a degree of incapacity, the citizen must indicate the value contained in the Medical Certificate of Multipurpose Disability, obtained through a medical board at the health center.
Useful tool for those who want to plan
The simulator is free and can be consulted via . According to the same source, the tool helps to increase literacy about available support and encourage citizens to use legal social support mechanisms.
In summary, the month of October still holds several payments and support opportunities. For those who depend on these benefits, paying attention to the calendar and trying the simulator can mean not missing out on help that makes a difference to the month’s budget.
