AGU paves the way for anti-fraud agreement in Bolsa Família – 03/06/2023 – Panel

The announcement of an understanding between the MDS (Ministry of Development and Social Assistance, Family and Fight against Hunger) and the INSS (National Social Security Institute) is expected in the coming weeks for the interoperability of systems, in order to automatically identify fraud in Bolsa Familia.

The institute had been refusing to systematically share data regarding retirement payments, pensions and other benefits kept in the CNIS (National Social Information Register) on the grounds that they are confidential. They would make it possible to more accurately filter families eligible for the federal government’s social program.

After meetings with both bodies, the AGU (Advocacia-Geral da União) issued new legal opinions to provide security for the sharing of databases.

The most recent, from last Friday (3), states that the Social Security reform included in the Constitution in 2019 a device determining the institution of an integrated system between data referring to social security benefits and social programs. As it is in the Constitution, the determination is above the LGPD (General Data Protection Law), one of the concerns expressed by the INSS.

In any case, to avoid any risks, the AGU’s opinion determines the publication of a specific rule to regulate the interoperability of the systems. The edition of this new one is in charge of the INSS.

As Folha showed, behind the scenes, technicians point to the backdrop of the dispute between Dataprev and Caixa to see who gets to manage the Cadastro Único, the database that brings together the beneficiaries of the federal government’s social programs.

It is hoped that the opinion will finally unlock the understandings. Today sharing already happens, but manually, which makes it difficult to verify the eligibility of families.
