How to get a basic basket?

To be able to benefit from the basic food basket, it is necessary for the family to register with the CadÚnico (Single Registration), made and updated less than 2 years ago.

In CadÚnico, important data is recorded for the government to define which families really need the benefit of the basic food basket, information such as: number of people in the household, family income value, existence or not of a member with special needs, among other data.
