Abstract

This article seeks to answer questions about how social assistance policy is organized in Brazilian municipalities. Three decades after the establishment of social assistance as a social policy of duty of the State and a right of the citizen, much progress has been made on its structural-organizational section. In this assignment, we intend to present, based on data from the MUNIC research, the configuration of social assistance in the national territory. It is a quantitative-qualitative research that, supported by a critical perspective and social totality, seeks to analyze the social assistance accessed by its users in different Brazilian municipalities. The results point to contradictions between those who manage and access such policy, the reality of the municipalities and the demand and supply of benefit services.
