Request Social Electricity Tariff is a simple and straightforward process, but you need to follow a few important steps to ensure that your application is successful. Below, we detail the step-by-step process so that you can obtain this benefit:

Step 1: CadÚnico registration

The first step is to be registered with Single Registry for Federal Government Social Programs (CadÚnico). This registration is essential so that the family can be identified and assessed to receive social benefits.

Where to register:

• Look for Social Assistance Reference Center (CRAS) nearest to your home.
• In some municipalities, registration can be carried out at other public bodies designated for this purpose.

Documentation required:

• Identification document (ID, CPF, Birth Certificate, Marriage Certificate, etc.).
• Proof of residence.
• Voter ID (for those over 18).
• Work and Social Security Card (CTPS), if you have one.

Step 2: Registration verification

After registering with CadÚnico, it is necessary to check that the data is up to date and that the family meets the income criteria required by the program. This can be done directly at CRAS or through online consultations made available by the government.

Step 3: Applying to the Energy Distributor

Once your CadÚnico registration has been updated, the next step is to contact the electricity distributor in your region. The request can be made in different ways, depending on the options offered by the distributor.

Application forms:

• In person: Go to your distributor's service center.
• By phone: Use the distributor's customer service number.
• Online: Go to the distributor's website and look for the option to apply for the Social Electricity Tariff.

Documentation required:

• Social Identification Number (NIS) or Benefit Number (for BPC beneficiaries).
• Identification document (ID, CPF, etc.).
• Proof of residence recent.
• Electricity bill current.

Step 4: Application analysis

Once the application has been submitted, the energy distributor will analyze the data provided and the CadÚnico registration. This stage can take a few days, as the distributor needs to confirm the family's eligibility for the benefit.

Step 5: Approval and application of the discount

If all the requirements are met, the electricity distributor will approve the application and apply the discount to the next electricity bill. It is important to check the bill to confirm that the benefit has been applied.

Duration of Benefit:

• The discount is applied monthly, and the family must keep their data up to date in the CadÚnico to continue receiving the benefit.

Step 6: Register renewal

To guarantee the continuity of the benefit, it is necessary to maintain the updated CadÚnico registration. The information must be reviewed and updated at least every two years or whenever there are significant changes in family composition or income.

Tips for Renewal:

• Contact CRAS whenever there is a change in family income or in the composition of the family group.
• Bring all the documentation you need to update your registration.

By following these steps, you can guarantee Social Electricity Tariff and enjoy the benefits offered by the program. It is essential to keep up with registration updates to keep the discount active.
